Nintendo holdte for nyligt en spørgerunde for sine investorer, hvor selskabets direktør, Satoru Iwata, blandt andet svarede på spørgsmål om Nintendos politik om regionslås. En bruger på Neogaf har lavet en uofficiel oversættelse, hvori det lyder som om selskabet overvejer at fjerne regionslåsene fra deres hardware.
"The game business has a history of taking a very long time with localization among other things, such as having to deal with various issues of marketing in each particular country, or games that have made use of licensed content that did not apply globally, and had all kinds of circumstances, so to say, that region-locking has existed due to circumstances on the sellers' side rather than for the sake of the customers."
Iwata konkluderer - ifølge oversættelsen - at Nintendo selv ville få gavn af at fjerne regionslåse, men at der stadig er visse problemer, der løses i den forbindelse. Både PlayStation 4 og Xbox One tilbyder spil uden regionslås.
