They always overhyped new features.  I seem to recall claims that PS2 graphics would be on the level of Pixar movies.  Still don't think we've reached the level of Toy Story in video games.

Have you seen Toy Story recently? Its not that impressive. The models and textures haven't aged particularly well. CGI movies are created with expensive computers only intended to create polished visuals. Current consoles can also create more impressive games when all they focus on is basically visuals. For example, Detroit is more visually stunning than Toy Story.

I have seen toy story lately.  The textures aren't as good, but the animation is still better.  And the lighting and shadows. But I'm not going to get into a whole thing about it.  Point is that the PS2 wasn't even near that level.
