There is a difference between making a region locked game and having a region locked console.

The PS3 itself is region free, but if a developer/publisher wants they can region lock their specific games. That aspect does not change the fact that the console is region free.

On the other hand, consoles like 3DS and Wii U are region locked, so all games will be region locked as well and individual developers/publishers don't have a choice of making it region free if they want.

At least that is how I understand.


but then you can say all consoles are region free ? maybe not the wii since i dont know if you have a choice (but I'm pretty sure at least one game is not region locked), but so 360 also region free ?

 

edit:

in my understanding: if you can make region locked games the console is not region free ... (even if most publishers opt out of it)
