Golden Nintendo Wii Made For The Queen Of England Selling For $300000

A golden Nintendo Wii that was specially made for Queen of United Kingdom Elizabeth II has gone on sale on eBay for a whopping $300,000. The unique console was commissioned by THQ as part of a marketing campaign for Big Family Games back in 2009. While the console was delivered to Buckingham Palace, the custom 24k Wiimote and Nunchuk unlikely never ended up in the Queen’s hands. After that, it somehow ended up in the hands of Donny Fillerup, a collector and co-founder of Consolevariations.com, where it’s remained for the past decade or so.

In spite of how expensive it would obviously be, people’s fascination with gold consoles or peripherals has led to many more groups or companies to create their own golden devices. Just recently, YouTube channel Linus Tech Tips had a solid gold Xbox Series X controller made. But unlike the gold Nintendo Wii that features a gold-plated console and controller, the one that Linus Tech Tips had constructed was made from 18k solid gold, making it one of the most expensive controllers ever made.

As for the Queen’s 24-karat golden Nintendo Wii, Donny Fillerup has now put the one-of-a-kind console on sale on eBay for a huge sum of $300,000, which isn’t surprising considering its history and the makeup of the console itself. In a Consolevariations.com blog post, Donny explains that his reasoning for selling the console is simply because he’s “moving on with life” and is looking to buy a home. As for its price tag, Donny says that he wants to be reasonable with his new home purchase, so he doesn’t need more than the $300,000 asking price. He also adds that the price gives more people the opportunity to purchase the console, implying that it could be sold for much more.

Pricing one-off devices like 24k golden game consoles can be challenging, as they cannot be valued simply by the rarity or age of the product, or even the expensive material it’s made of. The history of the product also has to be taken into account. Unsurprisingly, it’s difficult to put a price tag on something so abstract, and that’s where the notion of perceived value comes into play. Many rare gaming consoles are bought and sold with this intangible variable accounted for to sellers’ and buyers’ best ability, so to some, this $300,000 Wii’s price may be right.

The Queen’s 24k golden Nintendo Wii is definitely one of the most interesting and unique stories to have come out of the gaming industry over the past few decades and letting go of something that’s so historic is likely difficult. Hopefully Donny Fillerup is able to find a buyer that will not only help him get his new place but also take proper care of the one-of-a-kind piece.
