Console region server choice

I was asked to ask this:

Why will players be locked to their region servers?

Some might prefer to play on NA while living in EU or other way round.
PC players can choose their region so why can't console players?

Console players are automatically assigned to the megaserver in their respective home territory and are not able to switch
This is what you can read in the FAQ.

    My guess is that it's due to M$ and Sony demanding region locks, it would appall me if it was ZOS who were responsible for this.

    My question from the last ESO live and the answer from Gina

    Has the Server situation on console been finalized yet? I have a number of friends on PS4 in the US while I am in EU and would like to play with them. Will we be able to switch megaserver on console?

    We are finalizing these details and will share more information as soon as we can!

    Tho on the show she kinda just said - 'dunno. that was kinda a non answer.'

    Agreed. Whoever came up with the design should be shot in the foot and only admitted to hospital when he manages to find 3 other people willing to maim themselves the same way in order to accompany him.

    Ultimately, any method of entering an enemy keep without breaking down the door is considered an exploit. Thanks for checking!

    There are more and more unanswered questions regarding the console launch ...

    And as far as I know, you can decide to play on the Japanese servers of FFXIV:ARR, even if you play from NA or EU. But ... they are crossplattforming so this might be a difference. Don't know, I would just like to have an adequate answer.

    They removed Region Lock in this gen consoles. Only few games are Region Locked due to content creator not because of Microsoft or Sony.
    So i dont think thats the issue.

    Hmm, okay, fair enough, in that case it appears I may have to be prepared to be appalled.

    It would be best for ZOS not to answer this until after console beta
