How many copies has NBA 2K16 sold?

Copies sold
NBA 2K16 has sold an estimated 85K–171K copies on Steam. That is 4,274 reviews × 20–40 copies per review, read Nov 2, 2026: an estimate, since Valve publishes no sales data, and it can miss by 2x or more either way. Copies sold outside Steam are not counted.
Money made
We have no US list price on record for NBA 2K16, so we publish no revenue range.

NBA 2K16 ships 15 screenshots, 9 trailers, a 188-character short description and a 3,826-character About This Game section. Below is where each of those four numbers sits among the 180 released pages in our corpus, and what those pages most often get flagged for.

The four numbers, in context

These four are raw Steam facts, counted from the store page itself. Everything else on this page is a comparison against other pages, never a judgement of the game.

Screenshots

Above the cohort median

15

About 77% of the released pages we analyzed carry fewer screenshots. The median is 10.

Our analyzer reads the first ten images of a gallery, so this page reports the count as a Steam fact and makes no claim about what the eleventh image onward does.

Trailers and videos

Above the cohort median

9

About 96% of the released pages we analyzed carry fewer videos. The median is 2.

Steam plays the first video before the screenshot carousel. Across the whole corpus, released pages average 2.4 videos and pages that are not out yet average 1.2.

Short description

Below the cohort median

188 characters

About 26% of the released pages we analyzed have a shorter short description. The median is 233 characters.

Steam’s short description field holds up to 300 characters and is the text shown in search, on wishlists and in the app. Longer is not automatically better: across our corpus we could not separate pages above and below 250 characters on any measure we trust.

About This Game text

Below the cohort median

3,826 characters

About 46% of the released pages we analyzed have a shorter About This Game section. The median is 4,085 characters.

This is the character count of the About This Game block exactly as Steam’s API returns it, markup included, which is how every page in the cohort was measured.

A percentile here describes what other store pages do; it is not a score, and this page does not publish one. Steam does not rank games on screenshot count, video count or description length, so a number below the median is a difference, not a fault.

Estimated sales and revenue

An estimate, not a fact: Valve publishes no sales numbers, so this is the Boxleiter method -- review count times a copies-per-review range -- applied to the review count Steam reports for NBA 2K16. The honest output is a wide range.

Estimated copies sold

85K–171K

4,274 Steam reviews × 20–40 copies per review, our working range.

Estimated gross revenue

--

We did not capture a US list price for this page, so we publish no revenue range rather than guess one.

Method in one line: on Steam, total reviews track total sales closely enough that a copies-per-review multiplier turns one into a rough range of the other. We use 20–40 for every game, because no study measures the multiplier by genre. Why that range · How the Boxleiter method works · Run the estimate for any Steam game

Which pages NBA 2K16 is measured against

None of this page's Steam genres (Sports) has enough pages in our corpus to stand as its own comparison set, so the comparison is against every page we analyzed that is released.

Cohort size: 180 pages. Based on 180 of 405 Steam store pages analyzed by Steam Page Analyzer, 2026-02-10 to 2026-07-30.

Percentiles are read as the lowest position consistent with a number, so a value shared by many pages -- five screenshots, one trailer -- reads low rather than being flattered by the tie. That is why every line above says how many pages carry fewer, never how many carry more.

Similar pages, same measurements

Other released pages from the corpus NBA 2K16 is measured against, each with the same four numbers published in full.

What pages like this most often get told to fix

These are the issues our analyzer raised most often across the 180 released pages in the corpus. They describe the cohort, not NBA 2K16 -- we do not publish the findings from any individual page here.

Between 63% and 80%Weak or buried opening hook in the short description
Between 30% and 83%Capsule text unreadable at thumbnail scale
Between 23% and 69%Gallery is missing UI, progression or systems screenshots

The two numbers are the rates our issue generator produced before and after it changed on 2026-07-01. The change moved some rates by more than 40 points, so we publish the range instead of an average that would describe neither.

What this page does not say

No score. We do score pages inside the product, but the scores stored across this corpus come from three different versions of the instrument: two rubric fixes shipped on 2026-07-26, and an issue-generator change around 2026-07-01 that moved the corpus mean by more than six points. A number from March and a number from July do not mean the same thing, so publishing either one here would be publishing a number we cannot stand behind.

No tag counts. The stored user-tag list came back empty on all 405 pages in this corpus, so we cannot say how many tags NBA 2K16 uses, which ones, or how that compares. The only tag-related number on this page is how often our analyzer raised a tag problem across the cohort, which is a different measurement.

No exact sales figure. Valve does not publish sales, and the estimate above is a range built from a public review count and our working copies-per-review range, not sales data. The true number can sit outside the range. The only price on this page is Steam's US list price before discounts; the discounted price at the moment of the read is never used.

Nothing about the game. Everything here describes a store page. It is not a review, and a page that differs from its cohort is not thereby worse.
