Q: How many copies did Project X sell?

74 to 121 copies, based on its 3 Steam reviews. This is a labeled estimate from the review count, not exact sales.

Estimated copies sold: ≈ 74–121; $41–$110 after Steam's cut $74–$169 before Steam's cut; from 3 reviews (3 user reviews); Only 3 reviews so far, so that range swings on one or two people. Read it as a hint, not a measurement.

5 of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Greyfox RPG at ≈ 103k–168k copies, ≈ $57k–$152k after Steam's cut.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Anime (8 of 8) and RPGMaker (8 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with RPGMaker + Anime, priced around $2.
When they shipped: None of the similar games shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2016. 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 that falls with release age, from about 52 for the most recent game here to about 61 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
