Anyone else read this(this is right up your alley Desen)?  Really good insight into Tom Kalinske's tenure at Sega of America, and his war against not only Nintendo, but Sega of Japan.  I bought the e-book version, and aside from the introduction by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg(who apparently are writing a movie based on the book) thought it was a pretty good read.

I have a friend who's reading it right now. Apparently it's pretty informative, though it leans a bit more in Sega's direction (obviously) if you're interested in that era, it's a good read.
