And it's juicy.

Everyone knows Emily Rogers. She made a blog post. It's about NX software. It's, um, really bullish. (aggressively confident) More bullish than me.

Basically, what she claims is that the NX will have an insane output of software, one that will eclipse what the Wii U did in 3-4 years in only one. I personally think that's a load of hooplah. That's she's exadurating. But she specifically says she's not using hyperbole. The reasons here souces give her for this are as follows.

- The big fundamental focal point (and overall goal) behind NX is to vastly increase the software output from Nintendo’s first party teams and studios.

- To accomplish this, the entire process of how Nintendo develops and produces software has gone through radical changes.

- There is a new strategy that was put in place to create and release first party software at a faster rate.

- Multiple unannounced Wii U projects were moved over to NX.

- The NX could potentially see the highest output of first party software in the company’s history. (She's talking about the entire lifespan of NX. Not just one or two years.)

The most important part of those are the first three points. We already know about Nintendo's unification of divisions and the recent reoganization of their company, but if she's right, and I have no reason to doubt that she is with at least those first four points, there has been much more going on behind the scenes than I think many of us have taken into account.

In case you're an idiot and can't count, that's 39 games. She expects the NX to exclipse 39 Nintendo-published games in 12 months. Um.

I believe her but I think she's exaggerating a lot, even if she says she's not. What she's claiming is incredebly unrealistic. But, you know, it's fun to talk about. And dream.

Also, the games could all be shit because of how unceremoniously they're pumped out, so there's that to consider. RIP holiday 2015.

Plot twist: Nintendo actually makes more than 39 games in 12 months, but they're all crappy "free to play" amiibo games.
