The way I see it Kinect has 2 big issues going against it and they are both combined big enough to make Kinect sell far less that it could have if they didn't exist

One issue is the space requirement and the next big issue is the $150 price.

Wii fit board?  

Wii fit cant be done in much less than 6ft, (it involves laying down) and it wasnt exactly cheap.

Wii Fit was $90 ($60 cheaper), specifically marketed as a health product (one of the largest industries), and you only needed 6ft in any one direction, not away from the camera which would typically be placed in front of or on the TV.

While Wii Fit has similar issues as Kinect, its issues are less and overcome by other factors that Kinect doesn't have directly working for it.
