Did the prediction match what actually happened?

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

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 490k–2.1M
best case 65.2M (War Thunder)
Games like War Platform

A typical game among these

≈ 490k–2.1M copies

≈ $4.0M–$11.4M after Steam's cut

from ~22k 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: War Thunder at ≈ 49.7M–80.7M 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 5k reviews in their first month; the range was 3k to 7k.
The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share Vehicular Combat (6 of 8) and War (4 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Simulation + Vehicular Combat. The breakout hits carry Free to Play + Simulation + Combat; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped
The similar games span 2013 to 2024, 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).
