Kinect is not comparable to the Wii Remote or Balance Board.

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.

How was it sold as an add on if it comes bundled with 360's and it made software on the 360 possible? Its not an add-on, its a second primary controller. It comes bundled with 360's and it can also function without the 360 contoller.

Because Kinect isn't bundled with every 360, and it wasn't at the start of the gen.  Fairly sure everything you've mentioned applies to the Wii fit bored as well.  How it was sold it the most important thing if you want to compare sales of two things.  A controller that has been mandiroty since the Wii was introduced is just not the same as an optional controller introduced halfway through.
