From the Paper:

"For as long as most people who play video games can remember, each Christmas has been a dogfight between the latest offering by Sony and the latest offering from Sega, with Sega overtime gradually ending up as the loser. This paper examines the strategy that each company has used in its pursuit to garner as large a section of the video game market as possible and " not incidentally but not necessarily centrally either " defeat its rival company as well."
