What it took to get here

About half the games that made it here had over 2k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 1k to 7k.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Racing (6 of 8) and Arcade (3 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Racing + 1980s, priced around $11. The breakout hits carry Action + Music + Fast-Paced; a typical game here doesn't.

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 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
