The only "Nintendo PlayStation" ever publicly auctioned has sold for US$300,000.

The ultra-rare prototype was the offspring of a short-lived collaboration between Nintendo and Sony, and was supposed to add CD-ROM support to the Super Nintendo.

Sony went on to create its own wildly successful PlayStation brand.

Heritage Auctions said it might be the last remaining Nintendo prototype, as the others were probably destroyed.

The online bidder will end up paying US$360,000 once the auction house's "buyer's premium" is added.

Its mysterious history led to the prototype gaining near-mythical status in gaming history.
