They are every generation. That's been the power race every console generation even as far back as the Intellivision. They always overhype and overpromise. Remember blast processing? PS2 promised it could run the Matrix or control nukes? 70 million polygons a second? Sure made the Nintendo figure of Gamecube 6-12 million seem weak tho in reality Gamecube was more powerful. Cell Processor will be in your toaster! Everywhere! PS3 almost not having a GPU but 2 cell CPUs. 1080P games PS3! Xbox One so powerful it's the one box you need for everything! The next Water Cooler! I'm leaving a lot out but since the early 80s console makers have done this. Just at some point, Nintendo stopped. (Starting with Wii) because they knew. They had to highlight features instead. Tho check out early Ultra 64 hype where at some point the console codename was Project Reality and there are videos way over-promising in visuals what N64 was capable of. Because SGI computers were the thing every visual effects house used and Nintendo going with SGI boy howdy did they over promise that thing.
We were going to get the same graphics as Terminator 2 and Jurassic Park!
