This is very true depending on how the final images will be used. From a artistic/hobbyist point of view, a medium format camera is way overkill. I can easily make decent 6 foot wide prints from my 5DmkII if I use a good lens and my focus and exposure is good.

However, my client wants me to make him (up to) 20 foot wide high resolution prints. My 5DmkII with its noise at 100 ISO, shitty Canon 'L' lenses (compared to the Hasselblad glass) and narrow dynamic range is not going to do it.

I just got to play with the Hasselblad a little as I was shooting for the client.
