I agree with this.I support the petition, but this is something that Nintendo will stick to in the end. I simply cannot see Nintendo abandoning the idea of region locking.
I know that region lock = "controlled market" so each region has fair chance to make money. And that is okay for them. I think Nintendo is scared that once no more region lock.. they are make no money.. this is not true.. look at Sony and Microsoft consoles.. region free and publishers still make many money. Nintendo thinks once consoles are region free.. everyone will import and no make money. Most people are still buy their own region game because they are know it will come. Though there is obvious titles that will not and people will import that.
