Really? This is the worse executive decision since Nintendo fired Gunpei Yokoi.

Pretty sure Nintendo didnt fire him...

Nintendo basically did. They blamed the failure of the Virtual Boy on him, even when he knew it would fail and tried to not have it released at it's current state.

Do you have any evidence at all to support that claim...?

It's in a book, Game Over: How Nintendo Zapped an American Industry, Captured Your Dollars, and Enslaved Your Children by David Sheff, so kinda hard to see it. However, I do have a site: http://www.racketboy.com/retro/nintendo/nintendo-virtual-boy-101-a-beginners-guide
