Q: How many copies did Cosmic Tankinator 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; $14–$36 after Steam's cut $25–$56 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.

Games like Cosmic Tankinator

A typical game among these

≈ 2k–4k copies

≈ $1k–$5k after Steam's cut

from ~85 reviews

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

1 of the 7 similar games is a hit.

Best case: AXYOS at ≈ 69k–112k copies, ≈ $95k–$254k after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What their first month looked like

About half the games that made it here had over 6 reviews in their first month; the range was 1 to 53.

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

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Wargame (6 of 7) and Hero Shooter (5 of 7).
The winners: Winners here lead with Hero Shooter + FPS, priced around $5. The breakout hits carry MOBA + Multiplayer + PvP; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: None of the similar games shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2021. 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 that falls with release age, from about 31 for the most recent game here to about 38 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
