Did the prediction match what actually happened?

Games like Vacant Kingdom

A typical game among these

≈ 793k–2.3M copies

≈ $2.1M–$4.6M after Steam's cut

from ~29k 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: Vampire Survivors at ≈ 6.6M–10.7M copies, ≈ $9.1M–$24.4M after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The winners
Winners here lead with Action Roguelike + Bullet Hell, priced around $5. The breakout hits carry Vampire + Indie + Singleplayer; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped
The similar games span 2012 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 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
