Nintendo to integrate departments as more games release around the world simultaneously
A new report from Japanese publication Nikkei states that Nintendo will be integrating its Japanese and foreign sales department. The two divisions, which contain 150 and 70 staffers respectively, is being done because more titles are starting to be released simultaneously worldwide. Previously, games made their debuts in japan.
Analyst David Gibson relayed the news from Nikkei through Twitter today:
