I think you should be more open minded. I fully respect and accept if people stick to preferring a PS2, Wii or a Snes. IMO nothing to be upset about, like you display here. Game consoles are luxury items. Why should someone for example become upset if a neighor buys a big 1080p HDTV, while you pick a small SDTV for your own reasons? (or vice versa) There are good reasons for picking both (having consumer choice is IMO good, so luckily the PS3 isn't much like a Wii), for example due to pricing or for example your VCR, Amiga 500 or Snes looking less nice upscaled compared to on an interlaced display.
More people may be visiting MacDonalds than people who are visiting top restaurants for a varierty of reasons, that does not mean MacDonalds should be the only option available to everyone.
PS3 developers still have a lot of headroom to achieve more, PS3 exclusives already are amongst the most beautiful and best sounding games available on the market (and this including PC games, as Windows gaming has become less relevant over the years).
People do care about specifications, lots of PC gamers upgraded their PCs over the decades, just to play Doom, Quake, Half-Life or whatever better than they did with their previous PC specs. Developers tapping more from the PS3's potential, will not require PS3 owners to upgrade.
