Sometimes it's nice to have a limited canvas to work on.

For example in demoscene the art is to make these old consoles or computers do wonderful things that seem impossible on such limited resources.

Sure, you can make good art with minimal tools. But consoles for a long time were not after good art (in its various meanings), but after mass market. So art suffered, same as technical side of things. My point is, consoles don't have any claim for higher quality in all meanings of the word.
