Over the last four weeks, Wii Fit has enjoyed a top spot on the Japanese sales charts. Actually, it's enjoyed the top spot, as the bundle has been selling like crazy in the Land of the Rising Fun. If you're one who likes to keep track of the sales numbers for the region, then this is old hat to you. We know you're impressed though, because you can bet we definitely are.

And, as you are undoubtedly already pondering, this could be the very same scenario when Wii Fit releases to North America and Europe later this year.
