Did the prediction match what actually happened?

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 4.5M–7.9M
best case 25.0M (Destiny 2)
Games like Knight Online

A typical game among these

≈ 4.5M–7.9M copies

≈ $48.7M–$61.3M after Steam's cut

from ~119k reviews

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

All 8 of the similar games are hits.

Best case: Destiny 2 at ≈ 19.1M–31.0M copies.

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