What the hell does kinect have to do with Wii U? Show me these analysts and what they are saying

 

It was intended as a response to the original poster's last point = "But the fact of the matter is it was not able to accomplish its goal. Slow down the Wii and it’s Wii motion plus controller. Two years later all it has to show for itself is slumping Kinect sales, bad games, and a new challenger in the Wii U game pad."

I'll give you one guess who the analyst is. He is infamous for causing steam on forums. I have one of the sources but can't find the other. In a later article he said casuals moving to kinect in 2010 is why he kept predicting wii hd for 2010 and why he thinks wii u is too late. As far as he is concerned casuals now own a hd console with 360 and kinect. So they won't bother with this. Note this is what he said later though he brings up social and smart phone games in this article.
