Incrementally helps but it can add up over the years and big shifts seem to happen every 5 years (a console cycle). For example anyone that bought a PC back in 2002 very likely has an agp card and ddr ram as well as a motherboard with a socket that doesn't support the latest processors. So if they wanted to upgrade that would literally have to change almost all the major components in the system (cpu, ram, videocard, motherboard). They then have to worry about unforseen costs such as a power supply that doesn't supply enough power or that doesn't have the right connectors. It can get expensive.
