"Similar to the movie and music industry, games must meet country-specific regulatory guidelines before they are cleared for sale," a Microsoft representative told Digital Spy.

"We will continue to work with our partners to follow these guidelines with Xbox One."

Sony seems to be the only hardware manufacturer which leaves this decision up to the publishers, rather than region locking the console from the off.

Had a feeling that would happen, now does that mean the PS4 going to follow.

No real surprise here, as Microsoft is greedy and wants to suck you for every penny they can. Here's to hoping that the PS4 does not follow suit here.

Wot the

another reason to switch to PC gaming

PS4 is going to win big time.

I honestly think they're just digging themselves a deeper hole.

You never know though PS4 could do the same.
