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

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 835k–947k

Games like Little Sim World

A typical game among these

≈ 835k–947k copies

≈ $9.9M–$15.2M after Steam's cut

from ~28k reviews

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

All 8 of the similar games are hits.

Best case: The Sims™ 4 at ≈ 5.0M–8.1M copies. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What their first month looked like

About half the games that made it here had over 4k reviews in their first month; the range was 951 to 20k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Dating Sim (6 of 8) and Life Sim (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Life Sim + Character Customization. The breakout hits carry Free to Play + Sandbox + Singleplayer; a typical game here doesn't.
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 of about 31, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
