I thought region locking was explained...that it has something to do with how certain economies and the laws that govern those are so different that having non-region locked consoles would be a nightmare.

If this turns out to be true, I'm buying my 3DS directly from Japan.

This is the same guy that claimed the new 3ds cpu was 3x faster than the current dual core MPCore arm11 processor - when ARM do not manufacturer an MPCore CPU that's 2x faster, let alone 3.

End result: guy's spouting crap for follows/hits knowing when it all turns out to be bs he can just say "source was wrong sorry". He's not even going all out on the promises, "theres a possibility", pshtt.

Don't waste your time getting your hopes up reading his nonsense.

Yeah, Overclocking and Underclocking are options from a parallel universe...

So what you are saying is that Nintendo does not customize their chips?

To be clear, nintendo do customize the chip with IO and linking structures to optimize the hardware specifically for its use, but they don't, never have, and never will UPCLOCK a part over it's stock specifications, so the line that the new 3ds CPU runs 3x faster is obviously false, the line that the CPU runs 2x faster is subjective based on performance gains on the newer cpu over the old design, even though the cpu will only be 60-100mhz faster, it could feasably run up to 2x faster depending on how much they downclock it from stock, and how they handle the addressing space.

So how do you explain the CPU of the Wii ? Is it a stock CPU or not?
