Rare play station prototype from Sony-Nintendo auctioned for $360,000

A prototype of a Nintendo Play Station console that never made it to the market was sold for $360,000 at an auction over the weekend according to media reports.

The Nintendo Play Station Super NES CD-ROM Prototype – Sony and Nintendo c. 1992 was the result of a failed partnership between Sony and Nintendo back in the 90s and a last remaining prototype of the console created by the two gaming giants. It was sold off at a live online auction on Heritage Auctions.

“At one point, this dual-branded prototype’s existence was mere myth, and this is the very first time it will ever be offered at public auction.
