To be fair, Sony's actual games oust much of the stuff they initially showed off.
Case in point.

Imo some of the visuals and tech showcased in Sony's actual games went above and over aspects of their original tech show case, not all of it, but a lot of it. Certainly more than I actually expected them to deliver on anyway.
This generation in particular has drawn more out of these consoles than I could have ever predicted. Which is even more reason I'm looking forward to these new consoles. I expect great things.[/QUOTE]
reminds me of 2005 when we compared ps2 tech demos vs games like shadow of the colossus, silent hill, gow 2 and gt4. it took years, but in the end the graphics ended up pretty close or surpassing tech demos.
i think neogaf is a much smarter community now. our expectations are reasonable.
