So just based off what I've seen so far.
Nintendo's development is very very different from Sony's or MS. They have one cohesive "studio" like entity, that has a lot of teams, and then they have several other teams that are often considered external despite being owned by Nintendo. They are a lot less public about their studios than the others are. Imagine if Naughty Dog and Santa Monica and Sony Japan all developed games under a single "Sony Development" label. That's the bulk of Nintendo. Wikipedia had nice lists for the others. They don't here.
The second thing is that Nintendo's studios are pretty small. It's more like they have 12 Media Molecules and 3 Sucker Punches.
Those 11 EPD teams apparently have about the same number of employees as just Naughty Dog, Santa Monica and Sucker Punch combined have. Media Molecule is about the same as the Software Technology Corp.
