Nintendo Wii U 'Locked' by Country

The new console called Wii U Nintento will be marketed, but it is almost certain that the console can only be used in the country where gamers buy.

The term is most popularly referred to region lock, and indeed almost in all products are like Nintento 3DS, Wii, GameCube, N64, SNES, NES and now the Nintendo Wii U.

So obviously, gamers who buy this console in the U.S., Europe or Japan can only use it in the region. As quoted by CVG, Tuesday (09/24/2012).

Very different to its competitors such as Sony or Microsoft are choosing different ways to 'lock'. Both producers were fully devolved region lock the game developers, while the PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360 can play freely anywhere. Even the latest gaming consoles like the PS Vita does not have a region lock.
