The Board interactive board game console, known for its 24-inch touchscreen and physical piece interaction, cuts its price to $400, a 40% reduction from its original $700 tag. This move comes as Nintendo's Switch 2 and Sony's PlayStation 5 see price increases to $500 and $650, respectively. With 7 included games and 10 more planned for 2026, Board positions itself as a budget-friendly alternative for family gaming.
Nintendo's share price has dropped 7% despite announcing a $50 price hike for the Switch 2, as investors worry about production costs and a barren 2026 game release list. The console has sold 20 million units and 50 million games, but the lack of upcoming big titles, including the next mainline Pokémon game not arriving until 2027, spooks backers. This contrasts with Sony's 10% share price leap, highlighting Nintendo's vulnerability.
