Showing 2D Platformer + Anime priced $10 to $20, last 18 months. Lens figures exist at all prices only, so inside a price band the page shows the standard figures.

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.
2D Platformer + Anime is about level with 2D Platformer and is about level with Anime: 14.0 in 100 of its launches earned $100k+ priced $10 to $20, against 15.8 in 100 for 2D Platformer and 14.0 in 100 for Anime.
That is about 0.7 times the 20.4 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: 0.4 in 100 launches earned $100k+; $20 to $40: 44.2 in 100), so read it within a price band.
The overlap is this niche: the 43 games tagged both 2D Platformer and Anime priced $10 to $20. 14.0 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 16.0 in 100 for 2D Platformer-only games and 14.0 in 100 for Anime-only games, so the mix is about level with 2D Platformer alone and is about level with Anime alone.

Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 43 launches.

The last 18 months lens is not computed for the outer parts, so this diagram uses the standard figures.
