To battle this idea I would agree that they wouldn't have this issue, but more people will be inclined to upgrade to a new system now rather than 3 years ago when Destiny was showcased at E3. I think it was a smart move to make the game compatible with last gen. Did it hurt the gameplay? Probably. Does it look gorgeous on next Gen? Hands down, but having that other 10% of player base that will be making the transfer in September to have bought and played the game was a smart move
