can somebody explain to me why companies do region lock?

I've never understand it either.

But at least there's hope that almost every game is region-free xD

If the console is region locked, the games are.

 

Weren't there some region-free games for Xbox360?

Yes, actually more and more lately. The only issue being here in Germany we usually get an extra special region lock on our games for some stupid reason. I think it's really mostly down to publishers lately though. I mean Ubisoft's games are never region locked, neither are Microsoft's, or 2K's. On the other hand, Konami, and Capcom are always region locked. Hopefully as many as possible will be region free next gen
