Nintendo was hoping by partnering with Philips, Nintendo would maintain control over the PlayStation console. Nintendo later tried to partner with Philips, a Dutch company and industry competitor to Sony, as Sony was going to retain property rights over the CD-ROM and any software that was in the PlayStation. Nintendo and Sony revealed the new CD/Cartridge compatible PlayStation. In 1991 at the Consumer Electronics Show. While Sony was not interested in the video game market at the time, Sony did begin developing a CD-ROM for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1988. He developed the 16-bit Sony SCP 700 chip which was an improvement over Nintendo’s previous 8-bit technology. The partnership between Sony and Nintendo began when Sony’s engineer Ken Kutaragi took a contract to develop hardware that would boost the audio of the next Nintendo console. the partnership fell through before the consoles could hit the market and Nintendo reported to have destroyed all of the prototype models.
Nintendo PlayStation is only a colloquial term for a Super Nintendo Entertainment System that could support CDs on top of cartridges which was named PlayStation. We’ll report back if and when we hear about it again in the future.Greg McLemore’s Nintendo PlayStation is suspected to the last machine of 200 consoles that sprouted from a business partnership between Nintendo and Sony back in 1991. Nevertheless, it looks like the console has found itself a new home. It’s a mystery as to why this mystery person did not make their bid when the auction opened, however. Previously, an individual from Norway had offered a whopping $1.2 million for the collector’s item – long before it went up for auction online. Sadly, however, this isn’t actually the highest amount that the prototype could have fetched for its original owner Terry Diebold. For now, the winning bidder’s identity has not been confirmed publicly – although speculation is that it could be Oculus VR founder Palmer Luckey, based on some of his previous tweets about bidding on the item. The final bid on Heritage Auctions comes in at a peachy $360,000, including the buyer’s premium. Well, the bids have finally closed and now know its value at the auction house! Earlier this year, we reported that the very rare prototype of the Nintendo PlayStation had gone up for auction – with bids climbing to the hundreds of thousands in no time.
