Well, if Wolfenstein and Modern Warfare 2 both came out on the same day I think the impact on Wolfenstein's sales would make you realise they are competing against each other after all.

Heroes Over Europe and Birds of Prey aren't really competing against each other for the arcade and sim gamers, but there is a large proportion of the market who have not yet decided to buy either game, and the game that comes out first is more likely to secure impulse purchases.
