Support merge, on the grounds that the topic is too small to need a split in
WP:SUMMARY format. Given that the hardware (perhaps accessories might be better) is quite important for the functioning of this game, it seems best to have it on the one page.

Merge Absolutely no reason to have an article on a the console and a separate article on the console's hardware. They are essentially one and the same and all of this information can be contained at one location. "Technical specification" type articles a cruft of yesteryear. --

Merge nowhere near the length recommendations for a
WP:SPLIT. Splits should always be done with caution because they easily introduce
WP:CFORKs and are harder to maintain consistency across multiple articles. No compelling reason for a split here.

I completed the merge, leaving the hardware spec table commented out. Feel free to restore if you want. This case is a perfect example of why you shouldn't split articles out like this. The main Virtual Boy had many improvements in prose and sourcing that were not maintained on this sub-article so I had very little to merge back. Splitting increases the article maintenance burden.
