Also if PS5 releases like a week before XSX it is already enough to claim "the strongest console ever" even if they can only use it to hype before launch and couple days =p

Also since marketing get some leeway they can still say it is the strongest even after XSX releases, Sega do what Nintendon't, blast processing, etc weren't factually right but never prevented them using it.

Not to forget how many competitive products will use the "best product" at the same time (you can't have all of them as being the best) or those comparisons saying it is XX% better than competitors (and just tag a no name product for comparison). So Sony could also be silly and claim they are 8x more powerful than competitor by pretending Ouya, Switch or current gen is the competitor they are talking about without disclousing it.

That is why I never trust ads and marketing.

Not being 100% true shouldn't lead to a problem for PS5 anyway, since the same would apply to XBSX right now actually. It's slogan for the moment is "Fastest. Most powerful." Well it's not 100% the fastest. The PS5 SSD transfers and GPU clocks are clearly faster on paper, which is all anyone has to go by for now for certain for either system. If backlash was a given, right now MS should be up to their eyes in it. Yet that doesn't seem to be the case at all. Nobody seems to be upset at MS for not being entirely honest, and so why would they care if SNY did the same thing?

The ones who care really are us forum goers and we would complain with any marketing because we would complain of the specs.
