Q: How many copies did inZOI sell?

824k to 1.3M copies, based on its 33k Steam reviews. This is a labeled estimate from the review count, not exact sales.

Did the prediction match what actually happened?

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

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 24k–1.5M

best case 6.5M (The Sims™ 4)

Games like inZOI

A typical game among these

≈ 24k–1.5M copies

≈ $87k–$3.4M 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.

5 of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: The Sims™ 4 at ≈ 5.0M–8.1M copies.

What their first month looked like

About half the games that made it here had over 1k reviews in their first month; the range was 145 to 22k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Simulation (7 of 8) and Life Sim (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Life Sim + Character Customization.
When they shipped: Only 3 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).
