Then you definitely aren’t the target of this. There is tons more to it besides “does it look interesting “, most prototypes and mules don’t. But what if symbolized is massive. If this had gone forward it could have completely changed the landscape of gaming as we know it, and I’m not using hyperbole there.

The system would have changed the landscape, sure. There’s nothing unique about the controller. It’s a standard SNES controller with a Sony logo on it

Do you know how mules and prototypes work? It quite common to use existing chassis and parts for testing the core, then you follow up with those things.

I get that. What that means is this isn’t a prototype controller. It’s a regular SNES controller with a different logo on it. The only thing that makes it special is that they used to to test something unique and interesting. Might as well buy the AC outlet the system was plugged into.

Not really, since this controller was masę 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.

It just sold for $35,000… so I’d definitely say it was a unique piece someone wanted.
