3. The (somewhat insulting but obviously only recourse) PR spin of "oh yeah, I can totally see how you were confused by the obviously clear and blunt original message."
4. The thought that gimping the performance of the game would help them "avoid the debates and stuff".
5. Or the fact that customers are even more aware of the power disparity of the two systems now given their efforts.
The lead up to the November 11 release date should be even more amusing and horrifying I'd imagine.

You realize Black Flag for PS4 and XB1 was just an upscaled version of the 360/PS3 versions. It's pretty obvious that Ubisoft's current engine is kind of plateaued if they can't get better than 30 fps out of either version. If you are Ubisoft there's no way you ship a product at lower visual standards than is possible in this competitive market where other games are trumpeting visual bells and whistles. IMO it's the last gen games that are crippling things as they are still basing the game on that engine.
