KI is free... it is not a hardware seller game.

It kinda helps if you trick the average joe that you are getting a free game. It wouldn't cost microsoft much if anything - plus you value proposition is a little higher then having no game advertised on the box

Average Joe would probably feel hookwinked if they bought an XB1 for the "free" copy of KI, given that it's essentially a one character demo. But "Free Killer Instinct with every Xbox One" is not a part of the on box marketing. 

The Titanfall SKU on the other hand is a value added proposition even though it does require a paid XBL Gold subscription to really play. 

Consumer dont take lightly to beeing fooled. That might earn you a sale now, but wont earn you a sale next time. Its something Microsoft is now learning the hard way. Dont incentivate them to continue down that road.

If you say you  give a free game, give a free game. In this case, KI with all content.
