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.

For these consoles corps, there's no way to please us all as it is, let alone please us and the larger casual audience. They need to please us just enough to create a strong base, while doing whatever's necessary to bring in the big numbers through casuals after that. The bigger the casual audience becomes, the more it tends to benefit the hardcore as the gen goes on. Most of the time anyway. On rarer occasions it can lead to the Wii, Wii U, and XB1, which were too casual overall. It's a fine line to straddle.
