There was just two KI launched on consoles and they were more successful than MK ones launched in the same time frame.

Where were you between 94-96? Brasil?

In the arcades around US that Killer I. was very successful. Why do you think most of the gaming media gave it an extensive coverage and people were crying tears of joy?

Street fighter is an older franchise, before KI entered the gaming scene they had multiple versions of the game out.

Everywhere I go where there's fighting game enthusiasts around Killer Instinct is mentioned as the revolutionary franchise that had the best combo system.

KI on consoles sold more than MK? That's not true.

You know VGC didn't have the data for the first MK on SNES for example.

And no KI was never a massive arcade success.

 

What was the reason for KI to be ported from Arcade to Consoles?

First MK was not that popular, I'll tell you that. MK2 put MK franchise in the map. KI on Snes sold more than MK3 and KI Gold sold more than MK4 on N64.

Those were KI two console releases; refute my analogy if you wish.
