On Motherboard: You Can Never Go PlayStation Home Again
There's no mention of Nintendo on the body of the console at allUnless I'm missing something? There's not even that button logo that features on the pad. Granted, there's nothing Nintendo-y on this image made public in 2012, either, but notice that the "PlayStation" on the pad is in a different font to what we see in Dan's snaps. They're not the same, is what I'm saying – and why would that be when the SNES PlayStation we saw three years ago was apparently how the 200 produced appeared? The story's beginning to sound like, like…The story sounds like utter horseshitSeriously, have you seen what Dan posted to go with his photos? Check this out:"My dad worked for a company, apparently one of the guys he used to work with, I think his name was Olaf, used to work at Nintendo and when my dads company went bankrupt, he found it in a box of 'junk' he was supposed to throw out."As Nintendo Life reports, this mysterious Olaf could be Ólafur Ólafsson, president and CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment from its founding in 1991 until 1997. He never worked at Nintendo, though, and what about Dan's dad's company? What was that? Why would Dan not mention that? Was it the FBI or the CIA or Nestlé or someone? We're back in the playground again, as this sounds like the purest poppycock. It's easy to find out who was in and around the PlayStation during Sony's conversations with Nintendo – "Olaf" is mentioned, beside that magical 200 figure, in this 2007 post on the SNES CD – and the vagueness of any other details spells, for me, horseshit.
