but I believe that companies have tried to make sure that games can only be sold in the regions they are released in. I am not sure about the reasons though.

Price control.

Actually on the 360 region locking is a publisher choice. Some games are, some aren't...

NTSC/J...

Huh NTSC is the US one but...

I wonder.
