So the Nintendo Online Service is used by 29.7 %. Sony's Online Service is used by 37.6 %. I think Nintendo will try to hit Sony's numbers as target.
The difference is that Nintendo online have a family deal.
Do we know Xbox's Gold membership figures or did they stop reporting that too?
That's a bit better. I bet it'll improve even more if they don't limit that limited edition of Super Mario Maker 2 with the 12 free months too much. That limited edition is going to sell out no matter how many they limit it to, with a deal like that.
Yep Mario Maker 2 could be the key for them. Also, maybe pokemon will have an online aspect?
Oh shit yeah, Pokemon will absolutely have an online component to battle and trade. That's gonna explode membership.
