Each number is a median ratio: a game’s local price, converted to dollars at the exchange rate published for the day that price was seen, divided by the same copy’s US price on that same day. 1.00 means the market pays what America pays; 0.50 half; 1.20 a fifth more. One pair per copy and market: the newest day in the last 30 days with both prices; n is the number of pairs. The conversion is ours (hence ≈); the local prices are the stores’ own. Either price can be a sale price: the pair is the same one our regional revenue model reads, so a US sale moves a median (a 50%-off US price against a local list price reads about 2.00). A game’s own regional pricing page pairs list prices only. A pair whose ratio falls outside 0.10–3.00 is set aside as an outlier — in no median and no n.

Markets priced off their comps

Of KONAMI's top 25 paid Steam games by modeled revenue with a regional price in the last 30 days, the 19 with a list price in the US and another market on the same day, highest modeled revenue first. 6 had only sale prices in the window and are left out. For each, the markets whose list-price ratio sits more than 15% above or below the median of comparable Steam games (shared tags, list price ±30%) — measured prices, not estimates. A market with fewer than 5 comps priced is not counted either way; comps n is the range across the game’s markets. Each game links to its full audit and method. The audit reads list prices only, while the pricing index takes each copy’s latest price whether on sale or not, so a game’s ratio here can differ from its ratio there. Counted over each game's first 5 markets, the ones its audit shows everyone; the rest are Pro.
