I'm not sure what's "between the lines". The chart shows the bulk of games released (~12000) being limited to the 4 of their 8 categories which have the lowest median revenue. Those categories being: (Visual Novel, ~4000, $1k), (Sexual Content, ~4000, $2k), (Dating Sim, ~2000, $3k), (Management, ~2000, $4k). The other 4 categories have a tenth of the releases and higher revenue. So there's a huge amount of "porn and visual novels" that are driving the median revenue down. |

Note that their chart doesn’t seem to show most game types.I presume this is because they do much worse. If I do a quick check for games since 2022, games with sexual content made a median of $1.6k whereas non sex games made $296.
If we use their advice to only check games that cost at least $10: sex games make $17k and non sex games make $11k. So maybe not so bad. Most of these games are selling about a thousand copies it seems.
Of the games released since 2022 that made at least 10k (4260 games) only A third were sex and dating sim games
