How Sega Beat Nintendo: The Console Wars That Changed Gaming Forever
In the early 1990s, Sega was a tiny underdog with just 5% market share. Nintendo owned 90% of the gaming industry. Yet, within two years, Sega flipped the script and took the lead. This video breaks down the insane strategy behind Sega's rise: from Tom Kalinske's bold 'Four-Point Plan'—bundling Sonic, slashing prices, targeting teens, and localizing games—to the bitter internal war between Sega of America and Japan that ultimately cost them the next generation. Based on Blake J. Harris's book *Console Wars*, this is the untold story of how marketing, attitude, and sheer audacity defined a generation. No dry history, just the raw moves that made Sega cool and Nintendo scared.
