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

Kinect is an option. The 360 controller isn't.

You can choose to get Kinect if you're into the kind of games that are offered for it. The 360 serves as the hub for this kind of entertainment. But it isn't the primary control scheme. Otherwise, you wouldn't have the option. It would be bundled with every single 360 packages, like the Wii and its Wii-mote.

You can choose to get a Wii too. Kinect serves as the device you need to get Wii like games. The Wii remote is comparable to Kinect for this sole reason. It's not bundled with every 360 (still heavily bundled) because Kinect can't be used for every game and the 360 controller is needed for those. It wouldn't make since to not include a 360 controller with every bundle since they aren't very expensive and it would limit that purchase to a few select games.

Nope. With Kinect, you get Kinect like games. They may approach the experience found on the Wii in nature, but they are quite different.  You would know if you had tried one.

Lol I have tried Kinect, there's a reason why it does well with only games the Wii also does well with lol. Dancing games have sold the most for it besides the game its bundled with, dancing games just happen to be also very popular on the Wii. I wonder why that is.
