That would be called a lie since Cerny was very direct on the SSD they are using on PS5 being faster than "anything on the market", not HDD.

Cerny was definitely pushing the "advertisement" claim with that statement though. The PC has SSD implementations which will obliterate the Playstation 5... Today.

Every generation consoles push claims of something "revolutionary" in their hardware... And really, it doesn't amount to much.

At the moment, Sony won’t cop to exact details about the SSD—who makes it, whether it utilizes the new PCIe 4.0 standard—but Cerny claims that it has a raw bandwidth higher than any SSD available for PCs. That’s not all. “The raw read speed is important,“ Cerny says, “but so are the details of the I/O [input-output] mechanisms and the software stack that we put on top of them. I got a PlayStation 4 Pro and then I put in a SSD that cost as much as the PlayStation 4 Pro—it might be one-third faster." As opposed to 19 times faster for the next-gen console, judging from the fast-travel demo.

Then that would be the lie he would be telling.

I'm pretty sure the talk is mostly aimed at the console market.

Just look above. He was very specific on the SSD on PS5 comparing to PC not to console, also since no console had SDD standard the comparison and phrasing used on the entire interview would be pretty wrong.
