Did the prediction match what actually happened?

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

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 1.5M–3.7M
best case 4.9M (EA SPORTS™ FIFA 23)
Games like Pro Football

A typical game among these

≈ 1.5M–3.7M copies

from ~107k reviews

Only the top fifth of 2019's Steam releases earned $34k or more before Steam's cut, so plan for that or less.

7 of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: EA SPORTS™ FIFA 23 at ≈ 3.7M–6.1M copies.

What their first month looked like
About half the games that made it here had over 10k reviews in their first month; the range was 1 to 21k.
The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share Sports (8 of 8) and e-sports (7 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Football (Soccer) + Sports.
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).
