China, really? A bastion of FPS fans itching for Halo MCC? That seems rather a stretch.
Halo MCC is going to be biggest in the USA and if pre-orders are to be believed it's not heading for huge numbers. Still 6 weeks to go of course so lots can change. But not being at 100K pre-orders with 6 weeks to go is not particularly good for Halo. At 7 weeks out Halo CE anniversary was at 186K pre-orders. MCC is almost 1/3 of that at 6 weeks out. I'm sure people have faith in this game pushing Xb ones. But objective information we have available right now suggests it might not do as much as some people hope.

Are you trying to say that MCC having slightly more than 1/2 the pre orders on a system with 1/16th the install base is a bad sign for MCC? Objective information is rather useless when you overlook the fact that base number of users is different. As a % of users who have the MCC preordered it is 8x more successful than the Halo CE ann.
What I meant with China was to them it isn't a rehash of stuff they've played before, it is the first time there is a console sold in their country which will have Halo on it, in any capacity and they get the full story of Master chief right up til Halo 5. Amazing value and content for those gamers.

It's 1/3, and Do you really believe Halo MCC will be clear to be sold that fast and that people there never played Halo when they had computer forever and grey market?

I have no idea what this post means beyond the 2nd use of the word "and" Do you think they played Halo 3 + 4 on the PC? I don't understand?
Regarding Halo being cleared for sale in China, fairly unlikely for a good few months unless MS get really envolved with getting it pushed through.
edit - Thinking, none of these games have been on PC Halo CE anniversary and Halo 2 Remake were not on the PC.
