Add-ons aren't heavily bundled with the platform. Controllers are, like the Wii Remote.


Yes they are. Example: Kinect

No they aren't. Example: Every other add-on besides Kinect. Primary controllers are bundled heavily with the console. Example: Wii Remote, 360 controller, PS3 controller, KINECT

Nintendo Zapper.  HEAVILY bundled with the Nes.  Not the primary controller.


GAME, SET, MATCH!!!


If only it were that easy.  He'll find a way to come back.  He's like Cobra Commander from the old G.I. Joe cartoon.

Or he will just ignore your post and keep going.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)     

    

Got a retro room? Post it here!

Looks like I left the Zapper out as a primary controller, I had it by the way, well my brother did. Didn't need a Nes controller at all to play, so that makes it a primary controller. Nice try, Kinect is still more comparable to this and the Wii Remote.

I can show you a 360 that comes with a standard controller and no Kinect.  Can you show me a 360 that comes with Kinect and no controller?  Can you show me a Wii bundle that doesn't come with a Wii Remote?

That's the difference!

Your point? The 360 released before Kinect. Why would a Wii remote not come with Wii lol. Can you show me what makes Kinect more comparable to the Wii remote?

It funny because you could actually navigate the menus with the zapper, can do that with Kinect and can't do it with the Balance Board.

But I'm on the other side of the argument!  Or am I?  I'm fucking confused right now.



Because Kinect is an add-on, as is the balance board. Simple as that.

You keep listing disadvantages Kinect has to the Wii remote, I could do the same for Balance Board vs. Kinect. Which makes the disadvantages pointless because they are both at disadvantages. The problem Kinect doesn't really have disadvantages, it was made to make games that were only possible on the Wii, possible on the 360, therefore it having less bundles than the Wii remote places it at a disadvantage sales wise, doesn't mean they aren't comparable. The Wii and Kinect have similar fanbases, so the 360s existence before Kinects release is irrelevant because without kinect it wouldn't be able to compete with the Wii regardless. Its disadvantage comes from being to late to the party. The Balance Board disadvantage comes from having a completely different purpose.



the ignorance is astonishing, i will say this, anyone who ever compared Kinect to balance board is just about as foolish as any trying to compare Kinect to a controller that is STANDARD with the Wii system. the only thing you can really compare is kinect and the motion+ addon, seeing as those are both addons
