I'd like to think the National Videogaming Museum in TX would have put up an offer if they felt the seller was willing to work in good faith, but based on some comments I've seen from some of the Directors on Facebook about their intersections with the seller at conventions, the impression I get is that's pretty much a non-starter.

And the NVM having probably the largest one-of-a-kind prototype system collections on Earth, it'd have been the natural home for the Nintendo PlayStation. That they want no part speaks volumes, and I'm sure there's a lot there left unsaid in the public eye.

No idea who it'll go to now, but it's probably going to be someone with deep pockets or a collective (like another museum, perhaps) with a fairly wealthy network.
