I love how Nintendo Switch 2 is getting buzz that now Playstation 6 is also out there. Feels like this console generation just flew by.

It really does. It doesn't seem like it's been more than two years since the PS5 came out and we're already mid-cycle.

Seems like SA has actually cut its stake.

Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) trimmed its holding in Nintendo Co., a day after reports that a senior executive at the kingdom’s mammoth sovereign wealth fund said it was considering upping its stake.

The PIF reduced its stakehold in the Japanese video game giant to 7.54% from 8.58% previously, according to a Japanese regulatory filing on Tuesday.
