Umm, I meant it means "TV screens are like 3xx by 2xx pixels in
dimension, so thats MUCH smaller than PC games have to render to"
Meaning that you could theoretically do much more in-depth graphic
wise PC games if you only had to render to 3xx by 2xx pixels, but it
still wouldnt look as good as the PSX2 because of the PC's geometry
limit.

MarketingWare by be MarketingWare, but it still has to DO the
calculations, and right now I think I can safely say (from everything
Ive seen) that a PC couldnt keep up or do that quality.

PC product MarketingWare is normally prerendered 3D Studio stuff, this
is hardly the same thing.
