The way I see it, graphics and gameplay should not be compared to newer/older generations. However, durability seems to be a valid comparison between generations. These days, people seem to take the cheapest way out and buy crappy hardware for platforms. However, back in the 80s and 90s, even though the platforms were expensive to make, they are lasting for 20+ years. My NES and SNES still work great, but I wouldn't say the same about my PS3, PSP, DS, Wii, and 360 in 20 years.
