This is where the big bucks are earned. 11m gamers paid $20 for that year. 11m x 20 = $220m. Impressive results.

So Nintendo made $220m for locking MP behind a paywall. Its crazy logic but it works.

Where did you get that? From my understanding, More than Half of the Online Subscribers have paid the 1 year option. It did not say half of the Switch population. 

You might be right, however i am curious to know how they determine there online User base. Am i considered an online user since i played afew hours on Mario Kart 8 and Splatoon 2 online? And havnt played online for months?

I didnt know you can subscribe without paying, i havnt actually checked that yet. 

Either way.. even if its 1m users paying $20, its free cash earnt for basically limiting services rather than adding services.
