Oh for pity sake. lmao.

To even compare that is so ridiculous. I guess when it comes to the relationship between you and Microsoft, all logic is thrown out the window.

Your argument then translates into, for example, Nintendo consoles not being region locked, because if you live outside Japan, all you need to do is import a Japanese console and Japanese games and they automatically become region free. 

 

Also, the reception of official XOne is of course lukewarm, because it is REGION LOCKED, thus it makes more sense to buy an import.

With PS4 being region free in the true meaning of the word, it is logical to expect people to purchase an official console instead of a grey market one, if nothing because of warranties. You can be 95% certain of that.

right, if you say so. 

so the ones now being bought as imports will simply be bought as officials...

great

how does this result in higher sales pray tell?

 

I am trying to find where I wrote about higher sales, but I find nothing. I don't even remember talking about sales, let alone about higher sales. 

This is not a thread about sales, it's not even in a Sales subforum. I was just pointing out the fact that Microsoft made a region locked console in China in the same fashion they attempted to do in the West before they were called out on it and ridiculed all the way to the 180-degree-soap opera.
