In the face of some major challenges recently, Nintendo understands it needs to adapt to new business models and possibly new ideas for hardware/software development. During a Q&A at last week's meeting with investors, President and CEO Satoru Iwata commented on the possibility of integrating Nintendo's handheld devices with its home console business.
"Last year Nintendo reorganized its R&D divisions and integrated the handheld device and home console development teams into one division under Mr. Takeda. Previously, our handheld video game devices and home video game consoles had to be developed separately as the technological requirements of each system, whether it was battery-powered or connected to a power supply, differed greatly, leading to completely different architectures and, hence, divergent methods of software development. However, because of vast technological advances, it became possible to achieve a fair degree of architectural integration. We discussed this point, and we ultimately concluded that it was the right time to integrate the two teams.
