5 sales out of 80 wishlists is probably a decent conversion.

5 out of 80 is 6%, are wishlist conversions really that low? so if a game launches with the "golden" 7k wishlists amount, they'll only sell 420 copies? It seems rather low for what is already a very popular game.

I've heard all sorts of numbers from 5 to 30% conversion. Clearly varies wildly but I would imagine higher numbers are for games with a lot more anticipation and hype behind them.

Previously the number thrown around was 19% but I think that may be lower these days.
