About ten years ago I used to research this a lot, back when the PS2 and Dreamcast were coming out. But then I reached the conclusion it wasn't useful. And as time went on the huge improvements we used to see became little tiny details of improvement, no longer fun to pour attention into.
And besides, it didn't make the games more fun. The first time I really had this epiphany in a serious manner was when I played MGS1 on PlayStation after having owned a Japanese Dreamcast and a gaming PC. The game looked terrible to me, but it was awesome and very immersive.
