Q: How many copies did Bitosphere sell?

25 to 40 copies, based on its 1 Steam reviews. This is a labeled estimate from the review count, not exact sales.

Estimated copies sold: ≈ 25–40; $7–$18 after Steam's cut $12–$28 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.

A typical game among these

≈ 342k–531k copies

≈ $2.7M after Steam's cut

Best case: Idle Slayer at ≈ 270k–439k copies.

What their first month looked like

About half the games that made it here had over 27 reviews in their first month; the range was 4 to 114.

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

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).
