Console wars going right to the silver screen
If you had to choose one historical event of the gaming history to be turned into a book and a movie, you will probably choose the raging console wars between Sega and Nintendo that in the 80′s and 90′s made the industry grow in incredible ways and that gave us so many great games, an exhaustive race to overgrow their rival.
Blake Harris surely did think it, and so he wrote a book called Console Wars: Sega, Nintendo and the battle that defined a generation, who will be released at Americans bookstores this may, and next August in UK.
But not only that, Sony Pictures and Scott Rudin, of The Social Network and Moneyball fame, are on the works to bring the book into a movie, directed by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg.

As a SEGA fan, I don't know if I like this. I don't want the movie to have a pro-Nintendo/anti-Sega slant to it.. I don't want the end of the film to feel like Sega's the bad guy who Nintendo triumphs over or something like that..
