Like, why can’t my 3DS play Japanese games, or my DVD player won’t play discs from a different region
In: Economics
It’s pretty simple, depending on the region you sell your product the highest price people are ready to pay for your device can differ quite significantly. If you have the same price all over the world you wont sell in some regions. If you have different prices and don’t region lock people will just buy from the cheapest region. The “solution” is region lock.
Tl;dr: it’s because of money.
