http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2014/jan/29/head-microsoft-studios-calls-new-killer-instinct-success-says-other-ips-will-return/you're curious how well the new Killer Instinct on Xbox One has performed, wonder no more. The head of Microsoft Studios, and corporate vice president, Phil Spencer left a tweet briefly addressing the new title's performance.'Success with KI was a good sign and you'll see some more IP return,' said Spencer.The fact that Killer Instinct has performed so well that Microsoft is thinking of resurrecting some of the other IPs is definitely good news for fighting game fans, as it means there's been yet another successful title in recent memory.Hit the jump to read onwards.Fighting game releases have been a bit of a mixed bag these last few years. Injustice: Gods Among Us and Mortal Kombat 9 have been strong performers for NetherRealm Studios, with the latter game selling close to 4 million units.On the other end of the spectrum, titles like Tekken Tag Tournament 2, Street Fighter X Tekken, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Marvel vs. Capcom: Origins and Darkstalkers Resurrection, among others, performed below their respective company's expectations.Regardless, Killer Instinct being marked as a success is good news for the FGC, as it shows there's still a solid interest in fighting games on the next generation consoles.Huh.............This is very good for MS and gamers. Maybe a new PD or Banjo or Age of Empires?
