How is that misleading.
"and" means as well as. Did they say "or"?

Because if you wanted to make a statement abouttwo things that were both exclusive to your system you'd still use and.
"The only console with Halo & Gears of War!" - That's not misleading in the slightest, it's the only console with halo, it's also the only console with gears.
"The only console with Halo & Grand Theft Auto!" - Dumb misleading statement.
If you're going to make a statement about exclusive features then you only include exclusive features in that sentence. Instead they mention one exclusive feature then list off a bunch of non-exclusive features in the same sentence that started with "the only console". They know exactly what they're doing.
If you can remove one of the nouns in an AND statement and it is suddenly a lie, then it is a misleading AND statement.
Now if the statement was "The only console with BOTH Halo & Grand Theft Auto" that would not be a misleading statement.
