Nintendo has a pretty massive war chest though. Increasing salaries by 10% is not likely to significantly impact their expenses/income.

I don't know of many companies that increase salaries or have executives take pay cuts while sparing employees during downturns, irrespective of how large their war chests.

Much to the opposite, I am more used at seeing companies layoff employees while posting record profits.
