You seem confused about the reasoning behind your point. It sounds like you're questioning whether better graphics on a PC port would hurt sales of console versions. I think the opposite is more likely—superior graphics can boost interest and sales across platforms. There are already many games that perform well on PC and translate well to other systems, so focusing on one aspect might not be the best strategy.
The first trailer I encountered for this game was visually impressive, with engaging unit interactions and striking visual effects. Yet, upon closer inspection, many of the magical elements seemed to break down. The voice acting replaced genuine character interaction, and camera movements were carefully timed to create a cinematic feel. It became clear that much of the presentation relied on smoke and mirrors, masking a lower frame rate and constrained motion. This suggested a disconnect between the intended experience and its actual performance. Our mental image of a dynamic multiplayer environment—such as four players navigating streets and assisting civilians—contrasted sharply with the reality of the game, which often feels disjointed and lacking cohesion. Ubisoft appears to be caught between two worlds: one that promises a polished, cinematic presentation and another that struggles with technical execution. If they release a visually striking version but it underperforms, players will likely criticize the graphics. Alternatively, optimizing for better performance might sacrifice visual quality. Given Ubisoft's track record, I doubt they can deliver a compelling PC experience comparable to the console version. The PC release is probably going to be a more modest version, possibly around 60 frames per second at best.
