Gunpei Yokoi's failure in regards to the VirtualBoy wasn't poor design, or a lack of awareness on how to deliver it to the masses, rather it was a product too far ahead of its time. Too far for the available tech at the time (red screen) and too far for the consumer to fully grasp (being a tech-primitive environment).
The concept, however, is one that I think is truly consonant and ready for the current advent of the next digital revolution: the metaverse.
I would argue that a VirtualBoy successor could in fact be the next ticket for Nintendo to stay in the hardware game. How they go about doing that is beyond me, but I am positive that Yokoi's concept right now is the most lucrative and furtive way forward for Nintendo and their hardware divisions.
