Yup, they did "too much", not "just enough". When I chose, the decision was easy: I had a standard TV with no intention of getting Blu-Ray disks. PS3 was slightly better, but did not justify the cost, so I went with X-Box 360. I've upgraded the TV to HD, which X-Box 360 can cater for, and I still own no Blu-Ray disks. The Wii showed more starkly that the returns on graphics alone has long since plateaued for many purposes and diverse gameplay is far more sought after.

The biggest lesson I learnt is is that it's not just software that can have significant bugs in it when production starts and I'll be waiting a long time before replacing the 360; there have been at least 3 hardware iterations of the 360 in improving levels of heat generation as the chip size shrinks and now they could run significantly faster without overheating than initially thanks to this.
