Showing Anime + Casual priced $10 to $20, hiding samples under 100 launches. This filter changes the answer: at all prices the pair trails Anime and is about level with Casual; priced $10 to $20 it trails both its tags.
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.

That is 1 in 12, about 0.4 times the 20.4 in 100 expected for any launch at this price.
