Now you can buy the golden Wii, which was created for the Queen of Great Britain

THQ used to be such a company. In 2009, she released the game BIG Family Games and tried to turn the commercial with the golden Wii. The trick failed, and the golden Wii was lost in an unknown place, and only 13 years later it reappeared. 

THQ tried to sell the golden Wii with a copy of BIG Family Games to the British royal family. The publishing house motivated its move as follows: 

"BIG Family Games is the ultimate Wii game that brings together all family members, from grandparents to children. The royal family is the most important family in Britain, so we thought they just needed a copy of the game. we thought Her Royal Highness wouldn't want to play on the old console so we ordered a new gold one. We hope she and her family enjoy our game! "

According to the Goldin site, Buckingham Palace's correspondence is subject to fairly strict rules regarding gifts. But in this case, the gold console did not reach the queen, or even the palace. The console returned to THQ's offices several times, where it lay until the company's complete bankruptcy in 2012. The publishing house modestly kept silent about the fact that the gift did not reach the addressee.

After that, the golden Wii disappeared from radar. Five years later, she found herself in the hands of a collector who specializes in equipment for developers. He got his console thanks to contacts with the former THQ. Although the console did not stay with him for long - he soon sold it to a partner Goldin. 

And now Goldin has decided to put the console up for auction. On the outside it has traces of operation, but it seems to be quite working - it comes with a touch sensor, all the necessary cables and even copies of the same BIG Family Games (which turned out to be a game).  At the time of writing, bets start at $ 2,300 (or $ 2,700, if you immediately count the deductions in favor of Goldin). Along with the golden Wii, they give a letter confirming the authenticity of the product and telling its history.
