«Консольные войны» — общее название интенсивного противостояния на рынке между двумя производителями игровых приставок.

Отчасти этому способствовал ранний выпуск игровых приставок, но основная причина успеха — санкции, которые компания применяла к разработчикам игр. В результате многие не могли нормально сотрудничать с Sega. Тем не менее в Европе и Бразилии система Sega продавалась значительно лучше приставок Nintendo.

“The Power of Glove” is a documentary that chronicles the history & legacy of the notoriously “bad” Power Glove, a 1989 Nintendo controller that promised to forever change the way humans interact with technology.
