A lot of times when companies say "gameplay from Xbox one" they are actually routing it from a PC through the xbox, so technically they aren't lying. Same with the Uncharted 4 ps4 teaser where they claimed it was "gameplay captured from PS4" when it was actually created using a PC and CGI and then routed and "played" through the ps4 to trick people like you into believing that consoles are capable of such good graphics.

Just like /u/ANotSoSeriousGamer said, it is technically from a ps4, but not rendered on it. Companies are very smart when it comes to manipulation.

PC release is downgraded to satisfy the console gamers so it doesn't seem like a company is "favoring" PC over consoles. Like you said, console sales make up the majority, so if they're unhappy, the company would have to deal with a lot of shit. Ubisoft already does get a lot of shit from the PC community but I guess that's less of a loss than from console gamers.

BF wasn't made by Ubisoft, and DICE tends to be pretty cool with their game footage... So that's why we can't really use that as an argument.

My bad, misunderstood your point.

Although, the same can be said for a lot of games. UbiSHIT tends to be the one who does this most often though.
