That's simple, it isn't about what Kinect is trying to duplicate, it's how it was sold. It was sold as an add-on to the X360 system, and it should be compared to add-ons to other systems. If the next console includes one with every unit then it can be compared to a primary, manditory controller like the Wiimote.

depends on the context of the discussion (which the OP didn't provide).  if you are taking sales ... torillian is 100% correct.  if you are talking gameplay quality ... perhaps the OP has a valid point.

What context? Its quite simply really, what makes Kinect more comparable to the Balance Board? All I see is people putting up the disadvantages Kinect has the Wii remote. I can name a bunch of disadvantages the Balance Board has compared to Kinect. I'm not doing that though because thats irrelevant. Kinect's disadvantages come from being a copied stragety. Kinect was made to make what the Wii Remote could do for the Wii possible on the 360. I guess Just Dance being exclusive to the Wii and Just Dance 2 releasing for Kinect was just a coincidence.
