Better question...

Does EA give a shit? They make oodles of money either way.

Pshhh.

I love WAR but by the time they actually get around to finishing SWTOR, WAR will be several years old with an expansion or two under it's belt.

WAR will either be a big hit or a niche market. Either way this is a ways off so it has plenty of time to establish itself.

I'm sure there are plenty of MMO players who stick to one setting or genre(ie: sci-fi vs. fantasy, or even something more specific), I think the majority of MMO players actually just like MMOs at this point.

The setting will play a role in which game they choose, but for me at least, it's not the deciding factor.

The games are definitely different enough to have separate playerbases, I do not know how many players will play both games though. I know Star Wars is a very diverse crowd but we will see.

I don't think there are as many common fans for both games as one might assume.

I'm also skeptical that the Star Wars game will actually be all that interesting.

Bottom line is EA don't care. They take money from people for and MMO, or... oh take money from people for an MMO. It doesn't matter. Really. Or at least not to EA.
