The novel & # 39; Console Wars & # 39; is becoming a television series

The 2014 book, in the manner of a novel but telling real-life events, is a fun rendition of Nintendo's epic battle with Sega to sell consoles in the '90s. It's also controversial for the company. Harris's use of a fictional dialogue, based on real interviews with key people. AV Club wrote at the time that "the innovation and business strategy of Sega-Nintendo's shock are so amusing that Harris's functional prose always tells a living story".

Rogen and Goldberg were originally on the verge of creating a cinematic adaptation of the book in 2014 and a documentary would also be in preparation. Television seems to be the wisest choice for such a project, giving events – which have taken place over several years – enough time to unfold. The pilot will be led by Skull IslandJordan Vogt-Roberts, written by Mike Rosolio (American Vandal). Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg are executive producers.
