As far as I know, the PS3 is the first home console to be region free. The 360 has region free games too, but it's far from being standard for the console.

I don't own a Wii... but is this easily bypassable?
I do remember region locks from the old days that were.

Can we expect a "solution" for Wii U or does this involve piracy too?

you can soft mod the Wii to play imported games, thats how alot of people were able to play Xenoblade before US release and how I was able to play Fatal Frame.
