Nintendo forma la "Integrated Research & Development Division", que unificará el desarrollo portátil y el de consolas.

Iwata comenta que esto no se ha formado para crear una consola que sea tanto sobremesa como portátil. Se integrará la arquitectura de portátiles y consolas en una sola, esto quiere decir que el sistema de ambas consolas serán compatibles entre sí, sea cual sea el rendimiento de cada una.

Cita:As you might already know from some newspaper reports, we will reorganize our development divisions next month for the first time in nine years. Two divisions which have independently developed handheld devices and home consoles will be united to form the Integrated Research & Development Division, which will be headed by Genyo Takeda, Senior Managing Director.

Last year we also started a project to integrate the architecture for our future platforms. What we mean by integrating platforms is not integrating handhelds devices and home consoles to make only one machine. What we are aiming at is to integrate the architecture to form a common basis for software development so that we can make software assets more transferrable, and operating systems and their build-in applications more portable, regardless of form factor or performance of each platform. They will also work to avoid software lineup shortages or software development delays which tend to happen just after the launch of new hardware.

Some time ago it was technologically impossible to have the same architecture for handheld devices and home consoles and what we did was therefore reasonable. Although it has not been long since we began to integrate the architecture and this will have no short-term result, we believe that it will provide a great benefit to our platform business in the long run. I am covering this topic as today is our Corporate Management Policy Briefing.

A ver si es cierto y empezamos a ver online cruzado entre las consolas de Nintendo, porque lo del Monster Hunter es un avance (cooperativo entre 3DS y Nintendo Wii U), pero estaría bien jugar online con todos, independientemente de la plataforma en la que tengas el juego.

Además, soñando despierto, esto podría significar un "Cross Buy" como el de Sony con Vita y PS3...

Veremos que sale de esto, pero está claro que va para largo.

Pero todo esto se basa en la eficiencia y la reducción de tiempo de desarrollo de ambas máquinas. Si ambas tienen SOs iguales, se beneficiarán mutuamente.
