Years ago, THQ Nordic planned an advertising campaign that might be of interest when launching Big Family Games. They made a gold-plated Wii for it and sent it to Buckingham Palace, to the Queen. But Queen Elizabeth refused to accept this gift sent to her. However, we can say that the goal has been achieved, after all, advertising is advertising 🙂
Years later, the fate of this gold-plated Wii has become curious. People Make Games tracked down this device and made a video, reaching out to the last owner of the device:
The current owner of the device loves a Dutch game, as we can see in the video. This collector named Donny, who bought the device in 2017, has now put it up for sale on eBay; The asking price is exactly $300,000. A console worthy of queens is expected to be sold at such a price, isn’t it?
