Games release on the game day as each other all of the time. Just because someone plays single player RPGs, doesn’t mean that they play MMORPGs. If you are someone whom plays WoW regularly, it is unlikely that you will pick another games release over an expansion to WoW the day it comes out.
They are not in direct competition to each other because they are not in the exact same market. Video Games is too broad of a term. CoD and Battlefield are competitors, because they are both FPS Multiplayer games. Doom and CoD are Not competitors because one is a Single Player story driven FPS, while the other is a multiplayer focused FPS. Each one has an element of the other, but they are not the same thing.
If you cannot understand that, then there is not really a reason to continue this debate.
Wrong. Again, not everyone lives and breaths for this game. If the newest Elder Scrolls would of been released I would be playing that. If Medieval Total War, the original, was remastered and came out at the same time as SL I would be playing that. If AoC would of been released I would be playing that. All three of those games are not MMORPGs and I would drop WOW in a heartbeat to play them. Do a poll and see how it turns out. You will be very surprised to learn what people would play if it meant not playing SL right off the bat.

Well, friend. We’re going to have to agree to disagree here. Have a good one.
I don’t know about AoC, but I dropped WoW for League Of Legends.
There you go. I bought TESO instead of WOW when TESO came out. When I first started playing I had a choice in buying a month of WOW or getting some beer. I got the beer. Amazing, 2 things not related but being in competition. Who could of thought that was possible? Oh wait, 99% of the population.
This is such a wide argument. You are stretching this into a living wages argument now. This is such a mess.
Everything, and I mean everything with a $$$$ tag is in competition with the other things that have $$$$ tags. You have 500 gold, you can buy the mount or the sword. Neither are related at all but they are still in competition with each other. My god I feel like I am in a Monty Python sketch at this point. Just yell out the door to whatever room you are in and ask the first adult to reply that you need money explained to you.
Lol. Oh boy. I gotta get out of this thread. Hey, you win. Your logic is solid iron, sir.
