Nintendo PlayStation Prototype Controller Up for Auction
In the 1990s, a historic collaboration between Nintendo and Sony resulted in the creation of the prototype controller for what was to be called the Nintendo PlayStation. However, Nintendo ultimately decided against pursuing this venture further, allowing Sony to forge ahead on their own path, becoming a major player in gaming history.
The prototype controller is now up for auction at Heritage Auctions, scheduled for August 22-24, 2024. This rare piece of gaming history has previously fetched high prices and is expected to attract serious collectors once again.
What do you think of the prices for these rare items? And how do you think the gaming world would be different if we’d have got the Nintendo PlayStation?
Not really, since this controller was made specifically with the prototype in mind.
Just because it only differs in branding from the mass produced original doesn’t mean it’s not a unique item of historical value.
