Well, I'll ignore Live and the fact MS are assuming you have to have full motion control for 2 (which clearly you don't) but if they're going to add Wii Fit then they need to add the cost of a decent set of bathroom scales as unless I'm missing something Kinect, while I'm sure it can read your body, is going to need them to weigh yourself and enter the figure - so if we're talking eachy peachy then they need to add the scales!

 How do you know how many motion controls I have? Well in any case you're wrong because I have 3 Wiimotes, 2 nunchucks and 2 M attachments.

I have 5...

Actually, after typing this I did think - how do you get your weight tracked with Kinect for something like Wii Fit?  You really would need scales, wouldn't you?  I certainly wouldn't trust it to take a look at my image and have a guess.

TBH the MS chart to me simply confirms the Wii has the price/features advantage as well as by far the larger library of proven, fun titles.

To be honest, Wii Fit telling you your weight is probably its worst feature. I can see extreme fatties getting it over Wii Fit because they don't have to see their weight or BMI or be told they are obese!

The Wii has the significant advantage and it will hold it until such time as a next generation Wii is released most probably within the wider market of less enthusiastic gamers!
