The winners: Winners here lead with Dating Sim + FMV, priced around $12. The breakout hits carry Visual Novel + Sexual Content; a typical game here doesn't.

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).
