One thing that strikes me funny is the possibilities of tracing this leak.
2 situations come to mind:
1) This was shown in a dark meeting room. The people in the room would be known quantities to Arkane/Bethesda. Easy to nail the source of the leak.
2) This was a trailer that was leaked to someone and then they watched it in a dark room. Not so easy to nail the source of the leak since they'd have gotten the media from someone else.
Looking at the image though, I think it'd be fairly easy to mock up since there are large versions of The Outsider Mark (seen tiled in the background of the image) online, and similarly, I'm sure it's fairly easy enough to find a usable version of the bird as well, albeit that would need modifications.
I think this is someone who simply mocked up an image, displayed it on a monitor in a dark room, and planted the PS4 controller in an attempt to lend credibility to the rumour.
Too easy to mock up screens with logos and existing assets, in my opinion.
