If I *buy* a game, irrespective of where I buy it, I expect to be able
to play it on a console I own.

The company has still had the profit margin they were happy to accept
in the jurisdiction where the game was purchashed, so preventing or
limiting sales in this manner is simple abuse of a monopoly power.
