Did the prediction match what actually happened?

Games like Panzer Panic VR

A typical game among these

≈ 993–11k copies

≈ $10k–$90k after Steam's cut

from ~40 reviews

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

1 of the 8 similar games is a hit.

Best case: DCS World Steam Edition at ≈ 2.6M–4.2M copies. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What their first month looked like
About half the games that made it here had over 22 reviews in their first month; the range was 11 to 126.
Games with under about 100 reviews in month one almost never recover.
The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share VR (8 of 8) and Simulation (7 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Simulation + Flight. The breakout hits carry Free to Play + Flight + Multiplayer; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped
The similar games span 2013 to 2026, and 1 of the 8 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 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
