If you never tried Audible, I recomend you to sign up for the Free Trial and get the Console Wars book as your free book.

Then you can get out imediatly after and keep the book forever.

Console Wars: the audiobook. is about the amazing history about the Sega vs. Nintendo era. It goes for about 20 hours and I can´t stop listening to it.

It´s a deep dive into gaming corporate inner circles of the late 80s and 90s and it reads (listens) like a heart pumping thriler.

Does not matter who do you love most, Sega or Nintendo, this underdog tale is just amazing.

I love the ups and downs of Sega vs. Nintendo battles.

I know they are making a movie about it, but it will pale in comparition with the full 20 hous narrative.

If you are a gamer, if you love the industry, you are in for a pretty sweet surprise.

It is really good. Of course there are torrents of it on the net as well, but mentioning where would get me banned. Getting it for free in Audible trial is the best legal way to own it without paying 46 bucks.

I want to read it.

But too expensive ( 2236 yen x 2).



I've listened to this (multiple times) during my long and dull hours as an overnight stocker. Fascinating and immensely entertaining read if you're into 80's/90's era gaming, Sega/Nintendo, or just the industry at all. 

I thought I knew it all regarding gaming history but even I learned plenty of new things. It's crazy just how much Sega and Nintendo despised eachother and how much they were at eachother's throats (especially on the Sega side)

As a Nintendo guy through and through I felt it focused too much on Sega and portrayed them a bit too much in the "heroic, scrappy underdog" light a t times while often making Nintendo appear the evil or at least indifferent giant corporation but overall an excellent read/listen.
