Recovered by a collector
THQ, the publisher of this compilation wanted to allow the sovereign to play Big Family Games with an exceptional Wii.
At this time, it is not known whether Elizabeth II used the console or even received it.
Still, in 2017, the famous Wii arrived at a collector, Donny Fillerup.
The man recently decided to put his entire collection of rare items up for sale to change his life and buy himself a new home.
In his announcement, the collector specifies that the shipping costs of the Wii will be borne by the buyer.
