One minor quibble. The Famicom/NES did not use a 6502, but rather a Ricoh 2A03. The 2A03 was 6502-based, but had the Binary Coded Decimal hardware sliced off and an audio component grafted on.

Consoles through the PS2 era were taken right to the edge of their limits by their end-of-life stage (don't forget that support for a console tends to keep on for a few years after the successor is released, as there's already a huge install base and a large number of people that decide now is the time to adopt since prices have gone so low), and most modern consoles use the same hardware as a PC. Moreover, as time went by there was not only less need for tricks like this due to much greater capability (stuff like this is mostly useful on marginal hardware), but generally less capability as well.
