Niches / 3D + Third-Person Shooter
3D + Third-Person Shooter
Games tagged both 3D and Third-Person Shooter: 263 indie paid launches, 15 of them earned $100k+ in their first year.
Showing 3D + Third-Person Shooter priced $10 to $20, last 18 months. Lens figures exist at all prices only, so inside a price band the page shows the standard figures. This filter changes the answer: at all prices the pair beats 3D and trails Third-Person Shooter; priced $10 to $20 it beats both its tags.
The pair's chance of a $100k+ first year beside each of its two tags, ranked like a high-score table, with typical earnings and the launches behind every figure.
3D + Third-Person Shooter beats both its tags: 22.5 in 100 of its launches earned $100k+ priced $10 to $20, against 14.3 in 100 for 3D and 21.7 in 100 for Third-Person Shooter.
That is about 1.2 times the 18.6 in 100 expected for any launch at this price. Lens figures by price band are not computed yet, so this band uses the standard figures.
Each circle is one tag, sized by its launches, and the gold overlap is exactly this pair. Click a part to read it. Price changes the odds more than genre does (under $5: 0.5 in 100 launches earned $100k+; $20 to $40: 42.4 in 100), so read it within a price band.
The overlap is this niche: the 40 games tagged both 3D and Third-Person Shooter priced $10 to $20. 22.5 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 14.0 for 3D-only games and 21.2 for Third-Person Shooter-only games, so games with both tags did better than games with either tag alone.
Both: 40 games priced $10 to $20; 22.5 in 100 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $3,157.
Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 40 launches. The outer parts are each tag's launches minus the pair's, so their chance is exact; their typical earnings are not computed yet. The last 18 months lens is not computed for the outer parts, so this diagram uses the standard figures.
