$ 75 game console: prototype sold for $ 360,000-former owner may be upset

Nintendo PlayStation for sale

Nintendo PlayStation has never been on the market. The only prototype was purchased by Terry Diebold in an office resolution for $ 75. Now that he has made $ 360,000 in gaming consoles, his results are still unsatisfactory.

That must be the bargain of his life. A few years ago, Terry Diebold bought a box from the office for $ 75. Content: Prototype of Nintendo PlayStation. Now that this has been auctioned at Heritage Auctions, the owner should be very angry.

According to Kotaku, the Nintendo PlayStation prototype was auctioned for $ 360,000 and is now the world's most expensive video game console. However, the magazine also showed in a private conversation with Diebold that he had previously rejected a $ 1.2 million offer. Now, consoles pass through the auction counter for only over a quarter of the total. Annoying! After all, he was able to increase the purchase price by 4,800 times.

The discovery of the Nintendo PlayStation is definitely luck. Terry Diebold accidentally found the prototype in a box he bought for $ 75. His son finally found out what treasure his father had hidden in boxes stored in the attic for several years.

The Nintendo PlayStation prototype was created in the 1990s as part of Nintendo's collaboration with Sony. Hence the name Nintendo PlayStation. The design is reminiscent of a hybrid of Nintendo SNES and Sony PlayStation at the time, as shown above. Therefore, it can play not only cassettes [cassettes], but also game CDs. However, due to differences between the two companies, Nintendo terminated its contract with Sony, and the console never appeared on the market.

If you want to experience a true retro feel, you can also operate without an extremely expensive prototype, as the prototype simply cannot play any games.
