Showing Cozy + Relaxing priced $10 to $20, without the breakout. 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 trails Cozy and beats Relaxing; priced $10 to $20 it beats both its tags.

1Scoreboard: the pair against each of 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.

ScoreboardDoes this pair beat its genres?$10 to $20

Cozy + Relaxing beats both its tags: 49.2 in 100 of its launches earned $100k+ priced $10 to $20, against 45.0 in 100 for Cozy and 23.6 in 100 for Relaxing.

That is about 2.6 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.

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: 42.4 in 100), so read it within a price band.

What the overlap means

The overlap is this niche: the 63 games tagged both Cozy and Relaxing priced $10 to $20. 49.2 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 41.2 for Cozy-only games and 17.1 for Relaxing-only games, so games with both tags did better than games with either tag alone.

Both: 63 games priced $10 to $20; 49.2 in 100 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $98,956.

Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 63 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 without the breakout lens is not computed for the outer parts, so this diagram uses the standard figures.
