crowded. Crowded space: 33 releases in the last year. Among the games here that reached 10+ reviews (most releases never do), the median sold an estimated 2,277 units (middle half 852–9,336). Standing out is a visibility problem before a quality one — the adjacent combos show where supply thins out.
