The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Boomer Shooter (8 of 8) and FPS (8 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Boomer Shooter + FPS, priced around $16. The breakout hits carry Warhammer 40K + Retro + Pixel Graphics; a typical game here doesn't.

How these numbers were worked out

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).
