I estimated how many people wishlisted games based on isthereanydeal.com's trend data (example: Blackguards).

The numbers inside parentheses are owners-to-waiters ratio.

Divinity: Original Sin - 3.6m (4.32)
Darkest Dungeon - 3.5m (8.78)
Pillars of Eternity - 1.7m (4.12)
Wasteland 2 - 1.5m (3.49)
Legend of Grimrock 2 - 535K (3.77)
Dead State - 432K (8.12)
Shadowrun: Dragonfall - Director's Cut - 365K (0.85)
Legends of Eisenwald - 309K (8.68)
Shadowrun Returns - 281K (0.34)
The Age of Decadence - 230K (17.05)
Lords of Xulima - 146K (5.60)
NEO Scavenger - 95K (0.84)
Blackguards - 94K (0.28)
Legend of Grimrock - 86K (0.09)
Blackguards 2 - 62K (2.23)
Serpent in the Staglands - 51K (16.45)
Telepath Tactics - 42K (14.27)
Underrail - 37K (1.50)
Battle Brothers - 19K (2.05)
Antharion - 14K (39.12)
Heroes of a Broken Land - 2K (0.42)

Note that isthereanydeal is a site for cheap shoppers, certainly a biased sample. I guess these ratios are higher than actual ratios. So take these numbers as very rough estimation.

That said, I think it's safe to assume that games with high ratios have more potential to convert wishlist to actual purchase when discounted.

Underrail is going to sell more after its released than any wishlist will show you now . It will take time but it will sell .

Yeah, many Early Access games have a sharp rise in wishlist graph when it's out of EA. So I think Underrail and Battle Brothers have more 'potential' than that.

Basic stats like owners and players are still available for free, he just monetize more specific and (probably) process-heavy data.

(I am surprised that FFF has sold twice as much as GII, to be honest, even if it has been available for a longer time by now.)

You probably understimate the number of complete tards who play for the moe style and not despite it.

I think it is less of moe style and more of "I have played this game on my PS2." Grandia was an old game and most gamer I knew have a PS2 and/or Dreamcast and thus highly likely have played the game. The newer PC gamers are mostly graphicfags and would say "lel look at the graphix, people paid for this shite"
