Blizzard's "major announcement" is but mere weeks away

And a lot of people only started SWG because it is Star Wars, many of them would likely not have hopped on the WoW train. I know of people who would never touch SWG, EQ, DAoC or WoW due to their settings, but happily paid to play CoH simply because it wasn't Star Wars or elves & mages.

There are people who hunger for a WH40k MMO, but are completely uninterested in fantasy, superheroes or Star Wars. WoSC could easily draw in some of those, if they manage the setting right.

Yes, there are market segments that don't overlap. But there is a segment that does overlap, and I think it is significant enough that Blizzard would be nuts to do another MMO while WoW is still strong.
