" Kinect Adventures and Kinect Sports were the only two games that have ever been able to make any head way with the device."

If they meant sales, there were a few Kinect games that sold really well. Dance Central, for one.
If they meant gameplay, The Gunstringer, Dance Central, and Child of Eden seem like great games, to me. My opinion, though.

And, if I were willing to take the time, I could find the thread where I said that no Kinect or Move game would EVER sell more than a million units. My argument: Kinect and Move are just accessories. They aren't just competing against other Kinect/Move games. The are competing against the entire Xbox 360/PS3 Library! The same guy that bought a Kinect to play Dance Central also has to choose between Halo Reach.

I don't know who the author is but he is wrong. As a peripheral, Kinect took expectations and blew them away! Look back at your Eyetoys, your Super Scope 6's, your Wii Balance Boards, you Dance Dance Revolution mats, etc. When it comes to peripherals, Kinect sits at the top of the mountain when it comes to support, sales, and impact. Show me the person that thought a peripheral was going to kill the Wii and I'll show you a mad man. The author is just making shit up.

You made just as much stuff up as him. As a peripheral Kinect got out done by the Balance Board research is your friend. Wii fit along side Mario kart and Smash pushed the Wii to heights the 360 could only dream of. Like when the Wii shipped like 26 million consoles in the 2008 to 2009 fiscal year, the same year Wii fit launched. The Balance Board sits at the top of the mountain of peripherals lol. The Balance Board had more impact and sales. You should research things before you post. How can Kinect have more sales when it hasn't even outsold Wii fit?

You thought you were just going to talk smack behind the back of d21 at 2am and I wasn't gonna know?  Im everywhere, son!  So how many games suppport Wii Fit?  Kinect has more.  Wii fit sold extremely well but kinect is still the fastest selling gaming hardware of all time.  Kinect will still be selling this Christmas when Wii Fit is dead in the water.  Line up your handful of wii fit titles next to your mountain of kinect titles and tell me which one moved more software.  Microsoft is reportedly launching a Kinect 2.0.  Is Nintendo making a Balance board 2.0?  seems like Kinect has made a bigger immpact on the industry, eh?  You can talk about Wii sales in '08-'09 but that was the year wii software came into its own.  I'm at work right now but I'll make the thread in the morning.  Kinect vs. Wii Balance board.....unless you want to make it right now.
