But they did it after the PS2, too. Sony gave out these crazy specs of what the PS2 would be able to do and Nintendo gave out some specs of what the Gamecube would be able to do. People complained and Nintendo had to come out and say something like "Sony's specs while true are based on an ideal situation that it will never be able to achieve while the Gamecubes specs are based in reality with effects turned on" or something like that. And when the 'Cube released, it was indeed more powerful.
They did release this, though:
So I guess Nintendo isn't above hyping.
