From my standpoint, and the standpoint of other engineers in the field which I know and have discussed this with, the problem is exactly what you've described: a company (Harrison) has lied about what their product actually is, created a hype about it, and when called on it numerous times has backed itself into a corner of repeating that same "hype" and "spin".
It is very unprofessional.
And in this business, will likely cause them to lose quite a bit of high-end business.
But of course, they may be transitioning to low-end consumer products and if this is the case, then no harm/no foul. In the case of not, well the worst thing a professional company can do is to "hype" or "spin" a product's abilities because it calls into question everything about that company's ethic. In the case of Harrison, there are plenty of console makers on par and better than they - and most professional engineers will remember the "mixbus" debacle as when they began to lose (or lost completely) respect for a certain company. Sad, but true.
