It depends on the game. If it is a good game that people like, then it can make a lot. If it is a good game (otherwise GG would not take it on) but the public doesn't care about it, then it won't make jack. Browse through a number of the topics in the marketplace for stats for various indie games and sites. But take the numbers with a grain of salt since your target market may be completely different than that of the games that have released figures.

Yep, and don't forget your own marketing effort would tie into your sales figures.

How many games will I sell?

We get asked this question all the time, and the only way to answer it is to turn it around, i.e. how good is your game? Good games, that are unique and fun, will find their market and will make good money. Our best games are currently making over $5,000 royalties per month for the author, our worst are making less than $100 in royalties. Founder Jeff Tunnell's "Make It Big In Games" blog has some great articles on this subject.
