""One of the most important things we should do is learn from history and try not to commit the same limitations, and that's why we have a subscription model," Lee told The Game Business. "Nintendo expanded the audience with Wii. When you expand the audience, and they want different things, and they only buy Wii Fit, Wii Sports and not many others ... that's a bit of a problem.""
""It's very important that we set ourselves up to serve our customer continuously with new innovations," added Lee. "That is how the whole system can sustain. But it started with Wii. We are standing on a giant's shoulder.""
Sony and Nintendo expanded their lead over Xbox while Nex Playground emerged as a breakout third-place console in November. Nex Playground's success is attributed to offering titles through a subscription service that addresses the Wii-era problem of an expanded audience purchasing only a few standout games. The subscription model aims to reduce reliance on a handful of hit titles like Wii Fit and Wii Sports and to provide continuous new content and innovations to a broader user base. Nex Playground reportedly captured 14% of Black Friday console sales, finishing ahead of the Xbox family of systems. The strategy emphasizes sustained engagement and market longevity rather than singular hit-driven spikes.
