Well he was pretty honest about it. Didn't try to spin it or anything. The motivation was for the seller, not the consumer, doing something to benefit the consumer could benefit the seller, they'll consider it, but they have to work around the things that originally motivated it in the first place, copyright, localization, and marketing efficiency. We all know that last one is probably the most important to them, and Microsoft solved it much faster because they have a lot more money they can put into marketing. |
Actually his "reason" was a humongous piece of crap. How does he explain why the DS was region free?

They took that risk with the DS. They didn't with this generation. Can't let a positive Nintendo comment go, can you? I wasn't even being that positive, just saying he admitted it was financially motivated. So tell me then, if it wasn't for the seller, then what do YOU think region locking was for? How do YOU explain why the DS was region free? Let me guess, because Nintendo is evil and stupid and wants everyone to be sad and not buy their products? But with the DS they were not evil and smart? I really don't get what you want him to say. He flat out admits the reason was for the seller, and that they're only considering this now because it seems like being region free could benefit both. Now where might they have gotten that idea? Perhaps from seeing the difference between the DS and 3DS?

No, it's a piece of crap because the other console manufacturers, and Nintendo themselves in the past didn't care about those "circumstances on the sellers side" so why would they start now?
