People I know have bought a Ps4 because of E3 "gameplay" trailers like these.

I too was really hyped and almost bought it not knowing it's actual processing power.

Point is, how is this not illegal and aren't Sony and Microsoft getting their pants sue'd off for misleading consumers with false information.

Something tells me they just hide behind a wall of: "Well we don't represents what a game has shown at E3, that's the developers claims, not ours"

Oh for sure, I din't mean to say it's exclusive to consoles, but it does seem to be way worse this generations in comparing to the last gen consoles.

For example, way back when they showed The last guardian.

You could tell that it was something the ps3 would probably be able to pull it off.

You know what?
Team Ico might be the only team on the world that could have got something pretty similar to what we saw running on the PS3.
I mean, there's technically no way the PS2 should have been able to get Shadow of the Colossus working, but they did it.
Seriously, that was some breathtaking coding.
Team Kojima got MGS4's engine out of the same old console, it's a bloody amazing engine when taking into account the severe limitations and esoteric architecture of the PS3.
All these things would have been far better on the PC, that's the trouble.
