Anime + First-Person

Games tagged both Anime and First-Person: 46 indie paid launches, 4 of them earned $100k+ in their first year.

How to read this page

A hit is an estimated $100k+ first year. Revenue is estimated from Steam reviews, so read figures as "about". Earnings are sales on Steam after discounts and regional prices, before Steam's 30% cut, refunds and sales tax. About 58% of it reaches the developer.
Price moves the odds more than genre does, so the page opens on one price band. The keys in section 2 switch it.

Anime + First-Person is too small to compare with Anime and is too small to compare with First-Person: 3 of its 10 launches earned $100k+ priced $10 to $20, against 11.7 in 100 for Anime and 20.7 in 100 for First-Person.

2Overlap: where the two tags meet

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.

What the overlap means

The overlap is this niche: the 10 games tagged both Anime and First-Person priced $10 to $20. 3 of 10 of them earned $100k+, against 11.2 in 100 for Anime-only games and 20.5 in 100 for First-Person-only games, so the mix is too small to compare with Anime alone and is too small to compare with First-Person alone.

Both: 10 games priced $10 to $20; 3 of 10 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $57,828.

Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 10 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.

Anime is led by Granblue Fantasy: Relink, with 24.0% of its money.
First-Person is led by Schedule I, with 16.5% of its money.
