Wii - Week of Dec 06 2006 - Americas

Top 10 Wii Software Sold (Not including bundled games) - 1.55 million units

Kinect Games - Week of Dec 11 2010 - Americas

Top 7 Kinect Games Sold (Not including bundled games) - 2.16 million units

I only did 7 because I don't know how to sort the Kinect only games and only 7 were in the Xbox top 30.

Still, those 7 games are outselling the top 10 Wii games in approx the same time period by 600,000 units in the Americas. 

So if Kinect isn't selling any games then Wii was much worse which is why it turned out to be such a gimmicky failure like so many at the time predicted.

I commend you for making the most idiotic comparison in the thread.

That includes 3 weeks of Wii sales and 6 of Kinect. Obviously, Kinect will sell more software if it has had more time to expand its hardware base. Twice as much time actually. And, considering that Kinect is even closer to the holidays, I find these sales quite pathetic for the peripheral in comparison I'm afraid.
