A typical game among these

≈ 1k–7k copies

≈ $4k–$43k after Steam's cut

None of the 8 similar games are hits.

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 RTS (7 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Space Sim + Space, priced around $25.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2016 to 2024, and 1 of the 8 shipped in the last two years.

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