...and I still have no idea what you do in the game.

Anyone wanna predict the games prformance both in terms of reception and sales? I can't give an answer because I just don't know what to expect lol.

I think it will sell around 15-25K first week.
Reception ..it must been already reviewed by Famitsu ...for occidental reviews it has to be released here and it will take some time.

It will probably sell better and be a better game than Wild Earth: African Safari but that's not saying much ...

Sales - 10-20K 1st week

Reception - usually round 6/10

I myself can't predict anything. It could be a great success if the gameplay matches the graphics because the graphics are what attracts me to the game or it could be an EPIC FAIL if no one knows WTF they're supposed to do in the game.

I'm in the same boat. Apparently "Safari Simulator" according to wiki.

Which is why it's always shocked me that "afrika" was usually included when *insert random sony fanboy* would include it when they list all the AAA exclusives on the way.

Afrika is just like a safari version of pokemon snap. It's all about picture taking.

Trying to predict how a quirky game will do in Japan should be done with a roulette table.
