Since the dawn of the industry people have bought the consoles they did because the system was affordable and had the games they wanted. People drooled at the arcade quality graphics SNK was able to produce on the Neo Geo but they bought the SNES or Genesis because they could actually afford those systems and they had the games they wanted. The CD functionality of the Sega-CD and Turbo Graphics 16 was seen as cool and highly desireable yet no one really ever bought those systems because the Genesis/SNES had better games than these expensive addons.
The only people who think that this generation is drastically different than the ones that came before it are the executives in charge of the PS3 and XBox 360 as well as their fanboys.
