Subject: Bold statement by Chessbase or salesmanship?

Here's the statement from the chessbase site.

"A new masterpiece from the Austrian Nimzowerkstatt. Nimzo7.32 is currently  the
strongest program using the Fritz interface. In a Nunn-Match Nimzo scored 11,5:
8,5 points against with Fritz (Grandmaster Dr. John Nunn suggested a set of ten
standard positions from modern opening
theory as basis for a match between chess computers)."

Now is nimzo7.32 the strongest program or is it that chessbase thinks that the
market for fritz and H7.32 are petering out a bit, so they make a claim of
another program which is even stronger?  I just wonder because I can't see any
other way to make such a statement a good business behavior.
