    Could be a debateable topic here, But recently I started getting more into motion video games, I've had my Wii and Xbox 360 since 2012 and noticed games for both are at decent prices, I however have been Wii Sports and Wii Sports since 2009, I purchased my Xbox 360 in 2012, it included the Kinect Sensor and 2 games (Kinect Adventures and Kinect Disney) since then I have purchased a handful of Kinect games but I could never really get into them, I also feel the movement detection on Wii is much more easier as it only requires the Wiimote as opposed to hooking an additional accessory. Although console-wise I prefer Xbox 360 I feel Wii did the motion-based concept first and better, so I have decided to sell my Kinect and my Kinect games in favor of building up my Wii collection. Currently I'm looking for the Just Dance games for Wii, any others suggestions would be appreciated.
    My currection Kinect game list is:
    -Kinect Adventures
    -Kinect Disneyland Adventures
    -Kinect Star Wars
    -Victorious: Time To Shine
    -Hulk Hogan's Main Event
    -Sonic Free Riders

    I think both the Wii and 360 motion control experiences are different enough both can co exist well.

    Nintendo did it first and in my opinion theirs nothing better than Wii Sports on the Wii. That is a lot of fun. I don't really feel motion controls really added anything to other games such as Mario Kart however. I preferred the GameCube controller where possible.

    I'm quite selective with games, however on the 360 I really enjoyed:

    Fruit Ninja Kinect
    - This is one of my all time favourite Kinect games. The game was really adapted well to the Kinect, unfortunately with the marketplace closed down you can no longer purchase it on the 360. I believe their is a version for Kinect on the Xbox One you can still purchase however.

    Kinect Adventures - Everyone with the Kinect probably has this, the River Rush game on this is a lot of fun. (You can still extract the photos it takes today from the hard drive with KExtract)

    Carnival Games - I found some of the mini games on this to be quite enjoyable party games, you can still buy the physical version on Ebay / Amazon pretty cheaply. I believe their is a version of this for the Wii also.

    Doodle Jump Kinect - This is an adaptation of the mobile phone game for Kinect I thought worked really well with motion controls. Unfortunately you also can't purchase this anymore.

    Kinect Sports - I think deserves a mention as its certainly a good game you can still purchase the physical version for, I always preferred Wii Sports however.
