Did the prediction match what actually happened?

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

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 4k–35k

Games like Zexion

A typical game among these

≈ 4k–35k copies

≈ $18k–$277k after Steam's cut

from ~373 reviews

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

3 of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: STAR WARS Jedi: Fallen Order™ at ≈ 5.1M–8.2M copies, ≈ $55.6M–$149.5M after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

These games

The winners
Winners here lead with Action-Adventure + Souls-like, priced around $40. The breakout hits carry Souls-like + Third Person + Open World; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped

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 36 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
