- The National Videogame Museum has acquired the mythical Nintendo PlayStation, the oldest known prototype of the doomed hybrid console.
- The MSF-1 development kit is the original development system for Sony’s planned Super Nintendo CD attachment and is the only known unit to exist.
- The Nintendo PlayStation was a short-lived collaboration between Sony and Nintendo to create a hybrid console that could play both cartridges and CD-ROMs.
- Nintendo backed out of the partnership, leading Sony to create the PlayStation independently, which became a huge success.
- The MSF-1 dev kit is an ultra-rare artifact, with a consumer prototype previously selling for over $300,000 at auction.
