As I said, Xbox is not a console, it's a service now. They are advertising the game for a service, not a console. If Playstation advertised a game for PS Now, my version of the game may look worse than yours due to internet connection and/or the device I am playing it on. Sony however, would of course demonstrate the game working on the best device with a flawless internet connection. That doesn't make it misleading because they are demonstrating the product I am purchasing. It's up to me what device I run it on.

Exactly. Of course it's on the Xbox channel, as it makes use of countless features of the Xbox PC app.
Be it achievements, cross play, streaming, party chat or whatever, you need the Xbox PC app.

At the very least, it's also still a console. An individual piece of hardware being sold by MS. And yes, this kind of crap is too common, has happened before, and will happen again. Everybody has done it. It's so common, that this very series has had a fairly strong association with this type of activity, dating back to the original. Killzone 2 has one of the more infamous "target render" E3 videos around. To me, the worst offender in history is the "Ultra" 64 pre-launch campaign of lies. The level of deception surrounding the lead-up to that system's launch was mental. Still loved it in the end, and it slooowly started showing it's true colours as the launch neared, but the lies surrounding the exagerations of it's power were gross. Hope that makes sense. Been awake for 25 hours straight.
