Nintendo might be unhappy about that, but I am sure they are more happy about already having 8m subscribers. 25% of the userbase to start with comparing with PS plus at 39% is quite good, considering how much less digital savvy they are.

Nothing happy about having 8m subscribers knowing that the next month it can be drastically reduced. 

That only becomes an issue for them if they quit the subscription. If they allow it to roll through and opt to go with constant short term subscription, then Nintendo ends up with more profitable customers.

What Nintendo has with the short term subscriptions is a large number of conversions, regardless of the price. A person who has paid any amount of money is more likely to return as a customer than an unconverted customer who hasn't paid any amount.
