Interesting Iwata Asks from around the Nintendo 3DS launched. Miyamoto, Iwata and Itoi talk about the failure (or not) of the Virtual Boy.

The comments about it being an expensive toy and not a gaming platform seem appropriate given the recent news.

A quote from Shigeru Miyamoto: It was the kind of toy to get you excited and make you think, “This is what we can do now!” I imagined it as something that people who were on the lookout for new entertainment or who could afford to spend a bit of money could buy and enjoy even if the price was a little expensive. But the world treated it like a successor to the Game Boy system.
