It's a thing even up to the PS4 generation. Know why? Bink Video.
I have modern PC games with videos rendered at low quality 720p -or less-, upscaled to 1080p. Bink Video isn't a bad tool, but a lot of devs don't bother fine tuning the quality and leave things at the default, which adds a lot of artifacting.
An example:

The game renders fine at 1080p. But the video is 720p, low quality, and upscaled so it looks really blurry. Even on the PS3 and 4, which use Bluray discs, devs keep using low quality videos. It's not like they're going to run out of space, they have up to 50 GB to work with!
