Long before Sony and Microsoft became the chief combatants in the video game console wars, Sega and Nintendo were kings of the gaming roost. Blake Harris chronicles their rivalry in the upcoming business thriller “Console Wars,” which traces scrappy Sega’s rebel bombardment against the Nintendo juggernaut during the 1990s. The book is scheduled for release in May.
According to Variety, the book will be adapted into a film co-directed by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg for Sony Pictures. Rogen and Goldberg have also been tapped to write the script.
