SONY NEVER promised in-game Toy Story graphics on the PS2.  Microsoft did with the original Xbox and didn't suceed.  People need to stop believing this urban legend.  And Toy Story graphics on the PS3?  Ratchet & Clank Future comes the closest.  I don't know of anything else on any other system that has done this.

 http://money.cnn.com/1999/03/01/life/playstation/ CNN seems to think they did. Given this does not prove the statement was thrown out there, but it is some strong evidence of it.

 

I've read numerous articles of news outlets hyping the PS2 when first announced.  It was their conclusion that the PS2 was capable of Toy Story graphics, NOT SONY.  According to the tech demo back in the day, I can see where they are coming from.  But when it comes to the reality of game development, factors such as AI, lighting, texture, and draw distance effected the polygon count of each individual game.  I've seen so much unreasonable SONY hate stemmed from this urban legend as a foundation.  If those who believed it would just look back and reassess themselves...

But the 2 teraflop figure is still fresh in peoples minds. So they have fresh hate sauce to spread on their sandwiches.

 

man hate sause tastes nasty, 1337 sauce is where its at. Hateraid is awesome though.
