Wiiu party is selling ok at best, and I'm doubting just dance will be around forever. Two games doesn't really sound like a thriving genre to me.  

Wii Party U will be over a million by now even on a small install base, and with MS pushing Kinect with every Xbone, motion isn't going anywhere.


1 million units is OK sales. Like I said. It's not doing great. And look at your wording. You say Microsoft is PUSHING kinect with the xbone. AKA forcing it on to people. It's very likely that they'll make an unbundled version. 

It's only been out a few months, casual games have legs.

You deliberately misinterpret my word use. Many people are obviously fine with  Kinect being bundled, considering Xbone's respectable sales.

Game developers say that the window for profit is usually only about 1-3 months at this point. After that, the bulk of the sales are from pre-owned. Those aren't counted as new sales (obviously). It will maybe reach 1.2-1.5 million. That's not bad, but I wouldn't consider that huge. 

And I was "deliberately misinterpreting" to prove a point. I bet most people would rather get a console for less than 400 without the stupid camera. But I guess some people would rather have a corporation call them stupid if they don't want it.
