You sure have a foggy memory. Here's an example of the kind of crap Sony released to the public when the PS2 came out, and they also used these theoritical numbers when comparing them to the Gamecube's realistic numbers:
You and I know that those are theoretical specs, but Joe Public did not (since Sony conveniantly forgot to mention that little fact) and believed those high numbers to be real. That was Sony's way of misleading the general public, which is precisely why I don't care about their PSP specs. I'll reserve judgement until they release real screenshots from PSP games.
