Back in the 90s when Nintendo and Sony were trying to join hands in the console market, they made the above system that never publicly saw the day of light which they roughly made 200 prototypes, which most are believe to be destroyed.
No games or software for the console exists, but that hasn't lowered its status as at top-tier collector's item. Its worth was cemented this week when one of the only known remaining systems sold at auction for US$360,000. The lucky buyer was Greg McLemore, the founder of Pets.com and Toys.com and an avid collector.
McLemore told CNN Business, "It's the single most expensive thing I've ever bought outside of a house. "I believe I got a great deal... To me it was worth it, especially when combined with the rest of my collection, the whole of which tells a story I want to save for society."
