The limited edition of the PlayStation 4 console went under the hammer for 129,000 dollars

Last year, the PlayStation brand turned 20 years old, and in honor of this, Sony released the PlayStation 4 console in the colors of the first generation of consoles, which was born in the fall of 1994.

In fact, nothing unique, except nostalgia for the 90th, this console will not give its owners. Another thing is that it was released in a very limited edition of 12,300 pieces, so it immediately became a tool for speculation on Internet auctions. The first owners of limited edition consoles sold it on eBay for fabulous amounts of $ 20,000 or more.

Sony decided that once the limited console is in such demand - it will be possible to use it for the benefit of humanity, so the prefix from the series of 20th Anniversary with the serial number 00001 was exhibited by the Japanese corporation at the Japanese auction of Yahoo Auctions, the money from which will be sent to the children charity organization Save The Children Japan.

Yesterday it became known that the owner of the console was a resident of Japan, who paid for it no less than 15 135 000 yen, or 129 000 dollars. Crazy money for the gaming platform, if you think about it. But, of course, this wealthy man became the owner of one of the rarest consoles in the world, and even the very first in a limited edition.

"We appreciate the participation of each user in our auction and were very surprised at the high price for which the console was purchased. This is much more than the amount we expected initially, "Sony representatives commented in an interview with The Wall Street Journal.

Russian users also could get the cherished limited version of the prefix 20th Anniversary PlayStation 4. To do this they had to take part in the competition, which was organized by the Russian representation of Sony. The participants only had to tell why they should get the console. True, got a consignment of a hundred Russian winners is far from free. They had to be redeemed for a price of 29,990 rubles (delivery to any locality in Russia at the expense of the organizers). On the other hand, this is much less than $ 129,000.
