Amazon offers Console Wars: Sega, Nintendo, and the Battle That Defined a Generation as a Kindle ebook for $1.99 downloaded. For comparison, it usually sells for $15 and this is the first drop that we’ve seen on this popular title since it was announced.
Following the success of The Accidental Billionaires and Moneyball comes Console Wars—a mesmerizing, behind-the-scenes business thriller that chronicles how Sega, a small, scrappy gaming company led by an unlikely visionary and a team of rebels, took on the juggernaut Nintendo and revolutionized the video game industry.
In 1990, Nintendo had a virtual monopoly on the video game industry. Sega, on the other hand, was just a faltering arcade company with big aspirations and even bigger personalities. But that would all change with the arrival of Tom Kalinske, a man who knew nothing about videogames and everything about fighting uphill battles.
