The Balance Board was released on a system which was already selling extremely well. There's also the matter of software. Just as Nintendo has done with the touchscreen and stylus for the DS and the Wiimote + nunchuk for the Wii, they made sure that from the start there was plenty of software that appealed to all demographics.
Natal is coming out an a system whose sales are nowhere near as hot, and every attempt that MS has made so far at software that's supposed to have broader appeal(Lips, Scene It, Kameo, Banjo & Kazooie, Viva Pinata) has been an unmitigated failure on all fronts.
Consoles owned: Saturn, Dreamcast, PS1, PS2, PSP, DS, PS3
