How many copies did Major\Minor sell?

Estimated copies sold
≈ 21k–34k
from 426 reviews (Mostly Positive)

Copies are estimated from the public review count, adjusted for release year, and cross-checked against SteamSpy's own estimate.

Did the prediction match what actually happened?

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

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 260k–641k
best case 2.4M (UNO)
Games like Major\Minor

A typical game among these

≈ 260k–641k copies

≈ $1.4M–$2.6M after Steam's cut

from ~8k 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: UNO at ≈ 1.9M–3.0M copies, ≈ $5.1M–$13.8M after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share Story Rich (6 of 8) and Choose Your Own Adventure (3 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Card Game + Tabletop, priced around $10. The breakout hits carry Card Game + Multiplayer + Tabletop; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped
The similar games span 2015 to 2022, and none of them shipped in the last two years.
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 61 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
