The National Videogame Museum has acquired the mythical Nintendo Playstation

SMRTR summary

When Nintendo abandoned the partnership to work with Philips instead, Sony created the PlayStation independently, making this development kit a rare artifact of gaming history that likely represents the only surviving example of the failed hybrid console project.
