Its not marketing...its lying. Sony are masters of releasing meaningles tech stats and crazy statements to get the hype machine going or to kill other systems hype...and they never deliver.
They promissed a bigger better online network in 2003 when they supposedly partnered up with time warner as soon as xbox live was coming out. that never happened and no online network happened till 2006.
PS2 was marketed as a machine that will achieve Star wars episode 1 like graphics...it struggled to keep up with the gamecube and wasn't even close to Xbox1 visually.
Killzone 2 fiasco
PS3 produces same results as 360, despite bluray and cell which were sold to consumers by sony as "must have devices for next gen gaming". PS3 was supposed to have 2 HDMI ports for dual display. What happened with that?
I could keep going for days...
Anywho, what sony does isn't marketing and it really hurt their public image with the ps3 overhype and underdelivery.
