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: Persona 3 Reload at ≈ 1.6M–2.6M copies, ≈ $26.5M–$71.2M after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

Winners here lead with Party-Based RPG + Turn-Based Strategy, priced around $47. The breakout hits carry Turn-Based Strategy + Adventure + Dating Sim; a typical game here doesn't.

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