The Division will "cram it up" graphically on the PC

Martin Hultberg, head of communications at The Division developer Massive Entertainment, has dismissed suggestions that the studio is downgrading the game's graphics from PC to console. Instead, he said that each version is being developed to maximize the capabilities of its respective platform, and that means that the PC version will simply be able to do more.
"Downgrading is a weird term to use," Hultberg said in an interview with Open World Games. "Obviously, we want to make a game that looks the best it can on its respective format, so Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC. So I think the term downgrade is a bit confusing and weird because we're trying to get the utmost out of every machine we use. So Xbox gets its attention, PlayStation gets its attention, and PC, of course, we'll be able to cram it up a bit more depending on the hardware you have."

"We address every console, every platform, as its own version, so we try to stay away from the thing where you go for the least common denominator, and everybody suffers for it," he continued, responding to a question about aiming for consistent performance—1080p, 60 FPS—across all platforms. "We want to make a good experience on all respective formats."

Interestingly, The Division wasn't even confirmed for the PC until just over a year ago, after an online petition attracted nearly 140,000 signatures.

I bet it will be exactly like watch_dogs, E3 graphics were off the charts but then the retail version suddenly had very bad graphics.
 
It always takes a while before developers can make full use of the current hardware available.The same will happen with the now "Current Generation" consoles and PC hardware. Obviously there is a bit more variety/options to choose from when gaming on a pc (from budget systems to enthusiast builds) so when it comes to comparing graphics quality between PC and console theres going to a few rogue variables.
