I hadn't realized WiiFit was necessary for multiplayer on the Wii.

True enough. The makers of the chart probably should have thrown in another Balance Board. Or three if they want to extend the chart to 4 player "full body motion control!"

it's different tbh, Kinect can't measure your weight or sense the tilting on the bottom of your feet depending on weight and balance distribution, and you only really just need 1 balance board per family.

The point was the chart is already pretty ridiculous.

The Balance Board isn't what most would consider a "required cost" for anything other than Wii Fit.

If the chart maker wanted to make a stronger case for just how "cheap" Kinect is, they would have extended it to include 4 players, which naturally makes any controller based system appear unreasonably expensive.

On the flip side, my own personal "upgrade chart" for the PS3 goes something like: $50. Period. One Move controller (already own a PSEye).

Yes, I agree, though living America, I can safely say that a lot of people are not too bright and would believe the chart LOLOLOLOL!
