Passing on Kinect would've been a bad move if it helped microsoft long term but it seems it only helped for the holiday season and first 1-3 months of this year. Looking at his beautiful chart you can see

That kinect is being outsold by wii fit and just dance 2

It used to be big like this

The only way its a mistake is if you look short term and only look at the holiday season and America sales. It did little in Europe and nothing in Japan 

Kinect is big now, but it would have been even more massive with Nintendo backing it. It could have been Nintendo's next big innovation that prolonged the life of the Wii or made Project Cafe a guaranteed huge success. That's why it was a big mistake for Nintendo to let it pass by.

Your only as big as you are right now. Sure if you take kinect's sales lifetime wise you can call it big but its not big any more as its not selling that much anymore. Let me rephrase that it WAS big. 

Also I have no idea how it could make wii or cafe last longer as its not doing much for 360 now and looks like it will do nothing by next year unless it gets some killer apps. I think nintendo would've looked at kinect as the weaker version of wii fit but cost more. (Sales wise)
