Q: How many copies did Vayan sell?

198 to 322 copies, based on its 8 Steam reviews. This is a labeled estimate from the review count, not exact sales.

Estimated copies sold: ≈ 198–322; $653–$2k after Steam's cut $1k–$3k before Steam's cut; from 8 reviews (8 user reviews); Only 8 reviews so far, so that range swings on one or two people. Read it as a hint, not a measurement.

Games with under about 100 reviews in month one almost never recover.

The winners: Winners here lead with Fighting + 3D Fighter, priced around $40.
When they shipped: 4 of the 8 similar games shipped in the last two years, so this genre is actively shipping.

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