How does the region lock work? Most likely, flashing the OS changes the region lock. Therefore, moving them from one region to another would be fairly easy.
It's not an issue with the DVD drives, as they don't play DVD movies.
Even with lower shipment numbers than usual and huge supply going to Japan, the Wii still managed to outsell the PS3 and 360 combined in the US and Europe combined. This suggests the gap will be huge when the world wide numbers are released.
