"Every major publisher has approached us to review their old Kinect and Wii catalogue" – Nex Playground is spoilt for choice as its international rollout continues The makers of the hit family device on hitting its first discovery problems, making motion-controlled Pac-Man, and absorbing hardware price increases With over a million units sold, and approaching a million paying subscribers using them, the next step in Nex Playground's global expansion – backed by fresh investmnent and an expanded leadership team including EA founder Bing Gordon and former Niantic and Zynga CFO Jeff Shouger – is Germany. The family-friendly micro-console will officially release in the territory later this year, retailing at €319. As a result, the price of Nex Playground in the US increased from $249 to $299 earlier this year, a figure that Lee says "does not cover all the cost increases." Despite this, Nex Team does not plan to raise prices further, as the company remains committed to keeping its hardware affordable. So we can say, hey, these guys work their socks off, make the product better every week and deliver family entertainment at an affordable price." "At the end of the day, it's about the quality of the catalogue and how we make it easy for users to access the games they like" David Lee The price of Nex Playground's subscription service, Play Pass, remains unchanged at $89 annually or $49 quarterly, offering a curated selection of games.
