He told the Japanese news agency that PIF is not in a rush to increase its stakes, and that investments would be made in a friendly way. The Kyodo report did not specify what he meant by “friendly”.

PIF currently owns 8.58% of Nintendo and has stakes in video game companies Nexon, Capcom, and Koei Tecmo, Kyodo said.
