It's just not the same. The Neo Geo is ultimately a digital system. It can be perfectly reproduced with emulation. Analog crap like vinyl records is far more difficult. There's also the fact that many "classic" albums were engineered by people who sucked ass at digital/CD mastering, and so the CD versions of albums are just flat out worse than the LPs. Something like the Neo Geo doesn't have this issue. Bits are bits.
I believe the majority of vinyl sales currently are not to people who are trying to get the best sound quality, but rather the novelty of playing a record on a turntable. Plus, it has been very trendy in the last few years to have record collections. That doesn't mean the same thing will happen with game consoles and original games, but it wouldn't surprise me.
