    Will you be allowed to sell a used XB1 or Kinect online to anyone?

    Why are you talking about fees? Has't it been established that there aren't any..?

    Why aren't there any demos?

    Some games got a demo,some doesn't have one....

    Like the 360.....

    It's a devs/publishers choice.....

    I'd say so, considering the X1 doesn't have arcade games. They are all just games now. There is no distinction.

    I'm pretty sure I read that it was mandatory for arcade and indie titles on the 360 to have a demo but Microsoft removed this requirement to try and draw more developers over to the xbox. Don't ask me to dig up the site as I read so much I wouldn't even
    know where to look.

    As tohellnbak said "xbox bing demos" there's a few on there and it is getting updated slowly, so worth keeping an eye on.

    The reason why their arent many demos is that their is no such thing as Xbox Arecade games any more on Xbox One, they are all just games.

    -

    The second reason is that statistics has shown that if a game has a demo,
    its sales actually go down roughly by half    , plus it takes work to create a demo, work that could go into the final game.

    General Help

    Also, demos aren't licensed. Anybody can play any demo that's on any console, provided the demo isn't exclusive to Gold members, or some other such special circumstances.

    Killer Instinct fight titles/achievements not working

    Majestic Taco,

    Unfortunately challenges and achievements will only unlock with one of the paid versions of the game. Think of this in terms of the demos on the Xbox 360. Hope this clarifies why they aren't unlocking.

    Downloadable Demos via xbox live

    It's actually up to the developers to give Microsoft a demo. So they can't release one unless they have one. Why more companies aren't releasing them as often, I don't know.

    Demo?

    There aren't many demos out yet. Bring up bing and say "game demos" and they'll come up.
