Do you have hard numbers on how many people import the game? On you are basing on people backslah on the web?

I'm basing it on an actual business decision by Atlus, whose fans are leaning to the hardcore side of things. Intentionally blocking import, they've shown that it has impact.

In that case you and I are discussing different things. Atlus adding region lock didn't make people import the game, it just showed that people wanted to play the game, and Atlus in the end made the decision. 

I'm not arguing whether region locking has an impact or not (Persona 4 and Xenoblade show that it does make an impact), my point is that a lot of people simple don't import games.

True, but my point is that nevertheless a lot do just look at ebay and the amount of Japanese games being sold from just Japan. There is a hefty business in there.
