Did the prediction match what actually happened?

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

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 3k–5k

best case 12k (Castle Rock Beach, West Australia)

Games like VR JAPAN

A typical game among these

≈ 3k–5k copies

≈ $7k–$12k after Steam's cut

from ~100 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: Castle Rock Beach, West Australia at ≈ 9k–14k 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 66 reviews in their first month; the range was 19 to 135.

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 (7 of 8) and Immersive Sim (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Exploration + Nature. The breakout hits carry Atmospheric + Nature + Relaxing; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2017 to 2025, and 3 of the 8 shipped in the last two years.

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