Not true.  Jack Tramiel talked to anyone who would listen, and promised all
sorts of dates and features which proved to be excessively optimistic.
If you need a current example (other than quality software) look at the
Atari CD ROM.  Yes CD ROMs do exist, DEC sells one, no they do not sell to
end users for anything near $500, and they will not be near that price for
over a year.
