Virtual boy bombed worse than any video game system ever. Even Saturn and Jaguar, which is sad. As far as virtual reality games, it's not something you will see coming to the home anytime soon. One big reason is a huge percentage of the world population seems to get sick after experiencing computer produced true-3d images after a while. Another thing is the ridiculous amount of money it would cost. Not only do you have to design wearable gear, but the fact that each headset has to have 2 image projectors, each having as much clairty as your tv pack into about a 1 inch square. Costly as hell. And last but not least I don't think anyone would want to program that crap, as you actually have to program for two different displays. Maybe sometime in the future this will be possible, but it doesn't seem too likely now.
