How many copies did Cat N Can sell?

Estimated copies sold
≈ 25–40
$41–$109 after Steam's cut $75–$168 before Steam's cut
from 1 review (1 user reviews)
Only 1 review so far, so that range swings on one or two people. Read it as a hint, not a measurement.

Copies are estimated from the public review count, adjusted for release year, and cross-checked against SteamSpy's own estimate.

Did the prediction match what actually happened?

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

A typical game among these

≈ 59k–150k copies

≈ $32k–$373k after Steam's cut

from ~4k 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: Little Kitty, Big City at ≈ 345k–560k copies, ≈ $2.4M–$6.4M after Steam's cut.

The winners
Winners here lead with Cats + Wholesome, priced around $25.
When they shipped
Only 1 of the 8 similar games shipped in the last two years. That says more about which games were found than about the market.
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 of about 31, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
