It happened in 1984.
People stopped going to arcades and put their Atari 2600s in the attic.
Then in 1986, Nintendo's NES really dazzled the home market with its better graphics and deeper gameplay.
In the mid 90s, Playstation & PC games brought 3D gameplay and realistic video effects into focus.
Today? New systems have better shading, more realistic smoke and fluid, neater lighting effects and maybe even more frames-per-second or some crap. I think another video game crash is coming and this article really nails it:

Could the next novelty innovation be in coin-op?
