Why do you keep comparing it to the Wii? Its an addon, it will have as much as an effect as Wiifit. And it's blowing up in one country while doing well in others.

Because its more comparable to the Wii than to WiiFit.  Sure, its an addon but people are buying it because they want Kinect, not because they want Kinect Adventures.  WiiFit was about the game, not the balance board.  Plus Kinect is about multiple games people look to play with it while WiiFit was about that one game.

Kinect has taken reinvigorated 360 redesign sales and boosted them even more.  People are hot for it and this demand isn't going to go away.  As they add more core games and features, they'll even get 360 owners like me to buy it.  But, as the reported bundle sales have shown, it IS growing the userbase in a significant way this season and don't expect that to stop.

As for the country thing, EMEAA sales for this week have it selling more than the 360 and only 30k less than the PS3.  Its not just one country.

Kinect has helped 360 more than Wiifit help the Wii?

Well I never stated that, but I don't remember tons of WiiFit bundles being sold that boosted Wii hardware sales.  I may be wrong, but I don't remember those.  WiiFit was a standalone addon and basically a one-off for that one game.  Kinect is different.  Xbox 360 Kinect is more like if Nintendo had rebranded and re-released the Gamecube with a motion controller and allowed current GC owners to buy the WiiMote as an upgrade.  

Come to think about it, I probably would be a Wii owner if they chose to do that ...

XBOX 360 KINECT?

Wii-fit ?
