I wonder how's that going to affect the sales of new releases. With such a hardware bottleneck, I imagine many will delay their release to wait for a bigger launch. That or keep releasing them crossgen, but at that point why bother with a PS5/XBox XS version at all?

Because they outsell last-gen versions by a comfortable margin. Without that PS5/Series X label, these games will have a lot less hype. Being on next gen automatically makes the small but highly active userbase more likely to try the titles out. 

But unlike the 7th to 8th gen transition, this gen is actually backwards compatible. They can be played on modern hardware without any problem. Hell, they are probably cheaper.
