VIRTUAL BOY is 32-bit tabletop portable videogame console released by NINTENDO in July 1995. The Japanese domestic shipment volume was only 150,000 units, and the global shipment was only 770,000 units. In the middle of 90s, PLAY STATION (SONY) and SEGA SATURN (SEGA) made competitive battle in the market shares of the global video game, and NINTENDO faced a challenge for sales of this video game console. Although it is hard to say that the console got commercial success, it can be said that there was a great deal of foresight in trying to introduce the immersive feeling of 3D and virtual reality on VIRTUAL BOY with the technologies in 1995.
