As for the external production groups, they just have been moved under XDev's wing. Effectively merging several internal departments into one bigger one. I'm not sure what your distinction here is.

I feel the more decentralized structure of having multiple unique teams work on games from outside developers is something that tends to be more common with Japanese publishers. Having all external production centralized under XDev rather than just external European production IMO, feels more in-line with the western model of having games from outside studios overseen by a larger, more homogeneous team.
