I guess it depends. There's no reason to promote this as "console grade" unless "console grade" means something more than, plain old 3d object renderer.

Certainly, you could define a console as an NES and the claim "console grade" but I'm guessing they are claiming "console grade" means, competitive with the renderer in games like Battlefield 6, Elden Ring, Horizon Forbidden West, etc.. Filiment is not up to those tasks.

Yes, you can make great games without the features of top console game graphics engines. But again, there's no reason for the hyperbole of putting "console grade" in the description then.



Yeah, it’s salesmanship. My feeling is that some amount of salesmanship is fine. This pales in comparison to a lot of promotion we see today. I mean this genuinely; maybe my standards have fallen too low? Perhaps I’m getting numb to it.
