At the Heritage Auctions auction, a gamepad for the PlayStation console, created jointly by Nintendo and Sony, was sold for $ 35 thousand (about 3.2 million rubles). About this reports Fix town portal.
In the early 1990s, Nintendo and Sony announced a partnership to create a game console that could run both Nintendo cartridges and Sony CDs. At the time, CDs were considered cutting-edge technology because they offered 100 times more storage than traditional cartridges.
The partnership was short-lived, however: Nintendo pulled out of the deal and partnered with Philips on the Philips CD-i project, which was ultimately unsuccessful. Sony continued to develop the PlayStation console independently.
Most of the 200 Nintendo PlayStation prototypes that were produced were destroyed, and any surviving examples have become particularly valuable to collectors. For example, in 2020, a prototype of the Nintendo PlayStation game console that never came to market sold for $360,000 (about 33 million rubles).
