Based on the most recent stats I could find, it looks like only 5% of console gamers have upgraded to next-gen hardware. Unlike 2013-2014 (when the last new consoles dropped), we're in a massive chip shortage and have COVID related production limitations, meaning that we won't see more consoles on the shelves until mid-late 2022 (according to Sony).
So, since roughly 2/3rds of the BF player base will be playing BF2042 on last-gen hardware, I think it's important to start featuring the last-gen version of the game in trailers and discussions.
