Action RPG + Shooter

Showing Action RPG + Shooter priced $10 to $20.
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.
Action RPG + Shooter is too small to compare with Action RPG and is too small to compare with Shooter: 1 of its 20 launches earned $100k+ priced $10 to $20, against 19.2 in 100 for Action RPG and 18.7 in 100 for Shooter.
Small sample: 20 launches, 1 hits.
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: 40.0 in 100), so read it within a price band.
The overlap is this niche: the 20 games tagged both Action RPG and Shooter priced $10 to $20. 1 of 20 of them earned $100k+, against 20.3 in 100 for Action RPG-only games and 19.5 in 100 for Shooter-only games, so the mix is too small to compare with Action RPG alone and is too small to compare with Shooter alone.
Both: 20 games priced $10 to $20; 1 of 20 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $7,343.
