Games tagged both Cozy and Simulation: 168 indie paid launches, 34 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".
Price moves the odds more than genre does, so the page opens on one price band. The keys in section 2 switch it.

Showing Cozy + Simulation priced $10 to $20, west-facing view, hiding samples under 100 launches. 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 both its tags; priced $10 to $20 it has too few launches to read.

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 52 games tagged both Cozy and Simulation priced $10 to $20. 42.3 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 46.8 for Cozy-only games and 20.3 for Simulation-only games, so the mix trails Cozy alone and beats Simulation alone.

Both: 52 games priced $10 to $20; 42.3 in 100 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $71,286.

Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 52 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 west-facing view lens is not computed for the outer parts, so this diagram uses the standard figures.

The leaders, in words

Hello Kitty Island Adventure earned 21.9% of the estimated first-year money of the 168 Cozy + Simulation launches.
It also leads Cozy, with 9.7% of that tag's money.
Simulation is led by Schedule I, with 15.4% of its money.
No game holds over half of this pair's money, so the pair is not a one-hit market.

Filters do not apply here yet. Leaders and shares are for all prices and the Standard view; per price band and per lens they are not computed yet.
