Did the prediction match what actually happened?

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

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 3.7M–12.5M
best case 38.8M (Portal 2)
Games like Syberia II

A typical game among these

≈ 3.7M–12.5M copies

≈ $41.7M–$81.4M after Steam's cut

from ~117k 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: Portal 2 at ≈ 29.5M–48.0M copies, ≈ $81.1M–$218.1M after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

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 36 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).
