Your set: Your set clusters on Driving (8 of 8) and Simulation (8 of 8).

The era: The games you compared span 2012 to 2025, and 1 of your 8 shipped in the last two years.

How these numbers were worked out

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).
