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.

Yes it is if it gives the platform games it never had to begin with. Nothing I have said applies to the Balance Board. Its not heavily bundled and alot of the games both the Wii Remote and kinect can do, cant be done with the Balance Board. The balance board can't even act as a primary controller. May I also add, why are sales even relevant to our discussion? The Wii Remote would have beaten the 360 with Kinect regardless. Kinect hasn't even been enough to keep the 360 from getting passed by the PS3. Kinect also doesn't have the benefit of having high selling first party games the Wii remote has. Halo can't be done with kinect so thats out of the question. Kinect would have lost sales wise regardless to the Wii remote.
