Did the prediction match what actually happened?

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

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 1k–5k

best case 15k (Modern Tanks: War Tank Games)

Games like Action Ball

A typical game among these

≈ 1k–5k copies

≈ $2k–$8k after Steam's cut

from ~73 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: Modern Tanks: War Tank Games at ≈ 12k–19k 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 22 reviews in their first month; the range was 16 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 Shooter (5 of 8) and Arcade (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Tanks + War. The breakout hits carry Free to Play + War + Simulation; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2016 to 2024, and 2 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 52 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
