Have you noticed that the tech-demos Sony and their partners shown off before their systems are released tend to have reduced detail, fewer effects, a choppier frame-rate and are rendered at a lower resolution when these games are released?

I have a theory about why Sony and their partners have the opposite trend of Nintendo and their partners, Sony tech-demos are run on high performance hardware to simulate what Sony believes their system can do while Nintendo's tech demos are early versions of a game running on an incomplete engine.

I remember a lot of "target renders" for the PS3 that will probably only be achieved by PS4, so you could be right. But what about all other Sony systems? PS3 seems to be an exception in quite a few areas, is this another area? I should add that the KZ and MS demos were CG, the MGS GZ and Watch_Dogs demos were real time.

I know we never got any bullshit for the PS VITA. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFv49yjsA2U Comparable to ass creed or Uncharted, will be surpassed in a couple years probably.

Sony claimed they would get close to Toy Story visuals with the Playstation 2.  That never happened.

I couldn't find any target renders, though.
