I think Microsoft is releasing the One in the 2nd tier countries a bit too soon

I'm not reeeeally sure Halo would have as big a boost in the tier 2 countries, particularly the ones that were more heavily interested in the Playstation brand last generation. I mean, if you're not already a Halo fan, then the Master Chief Collection's appeal would likely come down to 'four games in one,' and not actually have hype for the games themselves, which might not be enough to convince folks there to buy the console. Fifa's definitely the better choice.
