A rare Nintendo PlayStation console was sold for almost 400 thousand dollars
The prototype of the Nintendo PlayStation game console, developed as part of a collaboration between Sony and Nintendo in the 1990s, but which never entered the market, was sold under the hammer for $ 360,000.
A rare prefix was purchased by Greg Maclemore - the founder of pets.com and toys.com. The sold prototype is one of only 200 copies of the Nintendo PlayStation console created as part of the collaboration between Sony and Nintendo in 1991: the prefix, which, according to Forbes, is essentially a Super NES with a CD-ROM drive, has never been released market.
It is estimated that 199 of the prototypes produced were destroyed at the end of the Sony-Nintendo collaboration. The prototype, recently launched under the hammer, was discovered by a man named Terry Diebold in a box that once belonged to former Sony Computer Entertainment CEO Olaf Olafsson. They both worked for Advanta Corporation, and when it went bankrupt, the console - among many other things - was put up for private auction, where Diebold bought it.
