The verdict — supply vs demand, said plainly

crowded. Crowded space: 46 releases in the last year. Among the games here that reached 10+ reviews (most releases never do), the median sold an estimated 1,426 units (middle half 693–4,365). Standing out is a visibility problem before a quality one — the adjacent combos show where supply thins out.
