Conan Exiles Japanese Sales

Well, we're not quite sure how, but Conan Exiles has leapt straight to number 1 in Japan on PlayStation 4. The survival role-playing game (you know, the one with visible penises) moved 32,000 copies on Sony's system, and that was enough to secure the throne. My Hero Academia: One's Justice also made the top 5 on PS4, but only managed around 16,000 copies.

Despite Conan's best efforts, however, sales of the standard PS4 actually decreased, dropping to around 14,000 units. At least the PS4 Pro fared a little better this time around, hopping to 9,000 units. Maybe people just want to see those barbarian genitals in 4K? Or are they censored in Japan? To be honest, we're not really willing to find out.
