Sales estimates

Paid-game estimates use the same transparent multi-factor Boxleiter method. Free-to-play games never receive paid unit or revenue estimates.

Sales estimate

v1.0

5.5M to 12.9M

units (median: 9.2M)

≈ $31.4M to $73.3M modeled net revenue (fixed store-cut, refund, and regional-price assumptions applied)

5.5M median 12.9M

+ How is this calculated?

108,002 reviews × NB(85) = 9,180,170 median units

Factor	Adjustment
base	+50
year_2012	+30
price_$10	-5
positive_97%	+10
final NB	85

Heuristic display range: median × [0.6, 1.4]. Boundary protection: NB ∈ [15, 150].

Methodology & limitations

Sales estimates use an additive Boxleiter-derived heuristic against public Steam review counts. They are not authoritative sales data, and the fixed display range is not a statistically validated confidence interval. Actual results may fall outside it, especially for deeply discounted or bundle-heavy titles. Algorithm version v1.0. Read the exact method and validation status.

How comparison pages work

Verdicts are objective, they call out which game scores higher on a single measurable axis (reviews, price, sales estimate, recency). They don't claim "better." Tag overlap is computed from the public Steam tag list. Sales estimates use a multi-factor Boxleiter method whose formula is shown in full on each game's page.
