Somethings that I find curious and not genuine.
1. I don't trust Phil Spencer, he doesn't seem to believe his own hype. He doesn't even know how powerful the Xbone is.
2. Killer Instinct was a niche arcade classic game and probably only one person in the audience outside of Fallon and Quest Love know what that game is let alone that it is on the Xbox One if this is their first time hearing about it resurfacing.
3. Why didn't they showcase the Xbone in its case just like this at E3? Scared the gamers might not be impressed?
4. Killer Instinct is not a free download, Jago's arcade playthrough is free, everything else is payable. He needs to state the facts because the chances are the audience doesnt know or even care. With casuals you need to be blunt about the product and tell the truth or else you're taking advantage of their ignorance. Specifics are key because one thing I've learned from working in retail is that if you miss a point and let the consumer buy the product out of ignorance, consumers come back pissed or confused and you're lucky if you get to give them an explaination as to why they should keep the product.

KI was a massive arcade success that was ported to Snes to enjoy more success. While KI was in its prime of sucess MK was lurking in the dark with some horrible iterations like MK4.

Street Fighter wasnt a niche fighter it owned the arcades and the home consoles. Killer Instinct was a large favorite to watch but how many people were afraid to play it? Many. It would take over arcades but the barrier of entry was too great for casuals. Look at Fallon vs Spencer. Spencer's button mashing and still couldnt even complete a five hit combo. He needs an easier game to play. Street Fighter had a small barrier of entry that only came down to special moves. After that it was pretty much a mental chess match back then. Today its about working up to your major specials via a bar, but experienced gamers dont even need that. That adds insult to injury for them.
Killer Instinct is the wrong game to show to wider, much broader audience. They should've just showed Kinect or COD and been done with it. Those are the games that really don't need to be shown at E3. Its more meant for Fallons crowd.
