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.

I think they count it by accounts who paid money to it. Its like how they track digital sales. So anyone who played online before but did not purchase the online service will not be in that data. 

 

But yeah. Its nice $$$$ for Nintendo. Just like with the other 2 companies.
