thats the other side of the medal, true. can agree with that as well. maybe i think this way because im not tied to a specific system to play games i like. for me its therefore not important to rely on that single console i have for years already. i dont have that much money as well. but i usually spare some in advance - because i know i have to invest in the near future again :) and progress counts in games as well. old systems slow this progress down. for the good or the worse. in any way - the graphics surely dont benefit from ports to old systems. which in turn doesnt matter on the PC. one simple rule applies there: you dont have the system? play with less quality or better dont play at all :-P if console gaming would also be threated that way and people would get comfortable with it problems like the ones mentioned here would not arise at all, as every console player would take its console update for granted the same way PC Gamers do for ages already ;)
