Did the prediction match what actually happened?

We hid Virtuoso and predicted how it would do from its 8 similar games. Every figure here, including Virtuoso's, is estimated from Steam reviews.

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 147–1k
best case 14k (Tribe XR | DJ Academy)
Games like Virtuoso

A typical game among these

≈ 147–1k copies

≈ $389–$4k after Steam's cut

from ~8 reviews

Only the top fifth of 2019's Steam releases earned $34k or more before Steam's cut, so plan for that or less.

None of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Tribe XR | DJ Academy at ≈ 10k–17k copies.

What their first month looked like
About half the games that made it here had over 4 reviews in their first month; the range was 3 to 30.
Games with under about 100 reviews in month one almost never recover.
The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share VR (8 of 8) and Music (5 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with VR + Music.
When they shipped
Only 1 of the 8 similar games shipped in the last two years. That says more about which games were found than about the market.
How these numbers were worked out

A hit here: 1,000+ reviews, roughly $150k+ before Steam's cut (a standard indie benchmark).

Copies come from each game's reviews times a sales-per-review rate that falls with release age, from about 31 for the most recent game here to about 36 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
