can you name one?
Changes on such a grand scale as these take several months, perhaps even years, to plan. Suggesting this has nothing to do with Mr. Iwata's tragic death. Instead I believe them to be a natural continuation of the earlier merger between the console division and the handheld devision.
In other words, these changes would have come anyway, perhaps even earlier in the year if it hadn't been for Mr. Iwata's illness and his sudden death.
I believe these changes have the potential to strengthen Nintendo, but it all depends on Tatsumi Kimishima.

Scott Paper. It was the world's largest manufacturer and marketer of sanitary tissue products with operations in 22 countries. It fell because of its restructuring.
Bet with Xander XT:
I can beat more games on his 3DS than he can on my PSVita in a month. Loser has to buy the winner a game on his/her handheld Guess who won? http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=193531

Good point. Some of this restructuring could well have been on the cards already, but most of it makes sense to me. The merging of the two game development groups is interesting. It makes sense with the the new directions they're taking the established IP in.

You'd rather Nintendo go inefficient? I'd rather Miyamoto given more of an advisory role, while being given time to pursue his own projects should he elect to. Same goes for Takeda. It's about time the younger blood learn how to think for themselves. OT: Long overdue, especially given that the online infrastructure was managed independently of the software development divisions. I'm really worried for what will happen with EAD and SPD, though. The former go for more mainstream titles, while the latter generally pumps out more niche ones. Will there be a schism? |
Nothing, they are just merged in two division instead been two separate divisions.

They will have better communication, better awareness of other teams work and progress, efficient exchange of ideas, they can help each other....basically all positive staffs, especially now when they will make games just for one Nintendo platform.

Actually all this was Iwata plan, also like NX, mobile phone games, Amiibo, using IP in toys, cartoons, movies..

yes and no. they can afford it and it wont kill them. |
That makes little sense. The fastest way to develop a game, or do any work in general, is to find the most efficient way to do it. This often comes with tweaking to ensure efficiency and speed as well, but there is also the quality aspect.
Nintendo doesn't have that long of development cycles in general. Zelda can easily be argued, but I will argue that Zelda Wii U is done and completed but is waiting for its time to be released likely along side the NX.
Gotta figure out how to set these up lol.

Exactly.
It seems that Miyamoto will continue to oversee Establishment of the Entertainment Planning & Development Division, Takeda Establishment of the Platform Technology Development Division and Tatsumi Kimishima will mostly charge for bussines side of company and Establishment of the Business Development Division. In same time they will prepareing their successors.

Seems to me like he did a pretty good job...
"In his first nine months as CEO, Dunlap divested over $2 billion worth of assets. Scott’s share price rose from $37.35 to $84.62—an increase of 225 percent in 18 months. Scott reported a $200 million profit in 1994, compared to the net loss of $277 million recorded in 1993."
