Play the Nintendo Wii like a real king? It is possible with the golden console created specifically for the English Queen Elizabeth II. THQ produced this unique piece in 2009, when it had not yet closed its doors. The company decided to send their product directly to the queen, to create a publicity show, but the staff decided to send the gift back to the sender.
When THQ filed for bankruptcy in 2012, a Dutch private named Danny Fillerup purchase the hardware stored by the company, including precisely this little gem. Fillerup, online database manager Variation consolesaid the experts rated the console for an estimate of about 1 million dollars.
“I don’t want to be so greedy,” Fillerup said, during an interview with CNN. It is not known exactly how much he paid to get this collector’s item, but he has already received it numerous 5-digit offers. “I would like to take my own house,” she said, admitting that she wanted to buy a small apartment in case the console was sold for the list price, which is around $ 300,000: a very real outlay.
The console is fully functional and generally in good condition, according to the description in the price list. “The Wii-mote is a bit worn on the underside,” is indicated. “It was probably used at some point.” Interested potential buyers will be able to verify the provenance through e-mails and documents.
The history of the golden Wii was discussed extensively in 2009 when it was sent to the queen by THQ. It was thought to have disappeared, but it returned to be talked about in 2019, thanks to the wide coverage of the world of gaming media. This Wii is but one of the 350 consoles in its collectionwhich also includes rare Nintendo prototypes.
