I just started reading it last week, and so far I'm enjoying it. Although, I am bothered with its numerous typos and the editing in general could have been greatly tightened (sometimes it goes into too much unneeded backstory on minor figures), I am finding it a fun trip through time. I also keep seeing it as a potential timepiece movie, trying to think who I would cast for the roles of all the players.

It also so far feels like it's more Sega's story than Nintendo's, and if you love to root for the underdog, you can't help but do so in this book.

I listened to the audio book and I thought it was great. The narrator did a great job as well, giving each person a unique voice.

I heard they are making it into movie.

I wonder if it'll be a Hollywood thing or an indie one.

Hollywood. It's supposed to be adapted to a movie by Sony. And Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg are onboard to write and direct. http://screenrant.com/console-wars-movie-seth-rogen/
