I can recommend "I Am Error", Nathan Altice's book about the NES: https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/i-am-error

I Am Error was excellent, as was Racing the Beam by Montfort and Bogost. That's from the same "platform studies" series as the Altice book, but focused on the technical and social development of the Atari 2600.
