Peter does over hype his stuff there is no doubt about that, but I suspect it is because he is just an ideas man others working under him do the hard work of making those ideas in games more then he does himself. He has been getting worse and worse, promising more and more for each game and I think it might be because he is getting disconnected from the game making process more and more. But at the same time his games aren't bad games, they are awesome games, they can never live up to his hype but on their own feet they stand tall and well...okay maybe not Fable 3.
Another part of this is, we keep listening and we keep buying. All those people who every time fall for his hype and are burned are back at his feet again soon after. So who can blame the guy, his method works. I don't blame him for over hyping, I blame the gaming media for just going with it non stop, they know better and don't care.
