PotC: At World’s End ships in Japan as a Nintendo exclusive
For a blockbuster hit like the Pirates of the Caribbean, you would think that publishers would jump on the opportunity on the franchise’s fame and rake in shiploads of moolah by porting it to all conceivable platforms possible.
But not Disney Interactive Studios. While Jack Sparrow and the rest of his crew will be basking under the sun across multiplatforms on U.S. shores, Japan will only find them exclusively on Nintendo platforms. That’s right, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End will only be shipped for the Japanese Wii and DS.
We are just as clueless as to why Disney Interactive opted to embrace this strategy for Japan, but it seems that they are confident PotC: At World’s End will do just fine, even without the help of the other platform versions. We’ll see just how much gold they’ll be raking in with this double-edged move.
