A Japanese auction for what turned out to be the original controller prototypes for the hardware inched us closer to that timeline this weekend, showing off the Revolution-mote that never quite was. > A Yahoo Japan user sold off a Wii sensor bar, remote and nunchuck for around $660 on Saturday; both they and the bidder have since shared numerous photos of the collection.
