    Simple 2000: The Japanese Software Chart, Brought To You By Wii Fit

    Wii Fit was released in Japan. Did you hear? It performed... admirably. Solid (if not spectacular) sales, some might say. In its defense, surpassing a quarter of a million copies is nothing to sneeze at, it's just that some of us expected to perform ridiculously. Granted, Wii Fit faced some hefty competition from Professor Layton and the Devil's Box and SD Gundam G Generation Spirits, so we'll cut it some slack.

    And, hey, not a bad debut for the Xbox 360 version of Assassin's Creed. The PS3 version doesn't hit Japan for over a month, so we'll see if Sony fans help it chart well then, too. The following represent sales from November 26th to December 2nd.
