I suppose the argument could be made that pretty much everything would be possible on last gen consoles, but that doesn't mean that they'd turn out the same. Take MAG. Online multi-player FPS games were possible on last gen consoles. I'm sure MAG could be squeezed on there and have 8v8 or 16 v 16 at a push or something. But the whole point of that game was 256 player battles. It wouldn't be what it was if it were just watered down for last gen. I'm sure there's plenty of similar examples out there.
I get where you're coming from with the bells & whistles thing but personally I don't think there's anything wrong with improvements in this manner. I'm sure Toy Story could have been animated in the same way as any preceding Disney film, but there's a certain enjoyment to be had from viewing it in the way it ended up being presented. Watching the Star Trek universe get further brought to life as production values got better is another example I'd put forward.
