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?

    Heritage Auctions is a scam. They worked with Wata on artificially inflating retro game prices during the pandemic.

    I have no idea why the NPS owners chose them.

    Edit: corrected Yata to Wata

      *Wata

      And even a dirty auction house can still run an actual auction in the case where what they’re selling is more than just a shrink wrapped package of lies

      You’re not wrong though
