   Wow, thank you for the correction, the movie made it sound like he was gone.

   The ending to the console wars movie was basically "Sega failed, Nintendo was runner up, and Sony won", but didn't cover the almost-made-it Dreamcast comeback -- best selling launch of all time at that point. They almost made it, and it fixed pretty much everything the Saturn did wrong.

   Hey by the way, your book looks cool, reminds me of "The Untold History of Japanese Game Developers" by John Szczepaniak

   I have the book he mentions, The Untold History of Japanese Game Developers, Volume Two. It is a fantastic book and worth your time if this stuff interests you.

   Guru Larry's channel covered one such rumor that "A certain Japanese game publisher" hired the yakuza to kidnap a developer's sister[0]. Covered in "The Untold History of Japanese Game Developers Vol. 2."
