Niches / Shooter + Third Person
Shooter + Third Person
Games tagged both Shooter and Third Person: 230 indie paid launches, 12 of them earned $100k+ in their first year.
Showing Shooter + Third Person priced $10 to $20, last 18 months, hiding samples under 30 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 trails both its tags; priced $10 to $20 it trails Shooter and beats Third Person.
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.
Shooter + Third Person trails Shooter and beats Third Person: 18.4 in 100 of its launches earned $100k+ priced $10 to $20, against 19.5 in 100 for Shooter and 15.0 in 100 for Third Person.
That is about 1.0 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 38 games tagged both Shooter and Third Person priced $10 to $20. 18.4 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 19.7 for Shooter-only games and 14.5 for Third Person-only games, so the mix trails Shooter alone and beats Third Person alone.
Both: 38 games priced $10 to $20; 18.4 in 100 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $3,035.
Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 38 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.
