I'm surprised that Nintendo fans can totally write off the importance of region locking considering the fiasco with the Operation Rainfall games. I was so glad there was a way to get around the region locking of the Wii, and I'll be really glad when someone figures out something like that for the WiiU in case NoA decides to start fucking up again.
I've actually used the lack of region locking on other consoles quite a few times. Let me get Malicious months before I otherwise would have on PSN, I sent a NA copy of Disgaea 3 to a friend in England which let him play that months or maybe even years early as well. Heck I'm not even sure that game is out there now. So yes, it's not something that will affect sales, and it's certainly not the new Xbox One or 599 dollars, but it's not a meaningless feature either.
