Call of Duty doesn't appear to have hurt other shooters, loooking at the rising sales of Halo or Battlefield. From 2010 - 2012, CoD always released alongside another FPS that didn't seem harmed by CoD's presence. If anything, CoD probably helped those games because of an increased FPS market. And if you include TPS shooters, then you can go all the way back to 2007 to look at all the shooters that released alongside CoD which were very successful.
If anything, I would expect a CoD launch title to help all other launch title games. Since CoD is a big series it would attract a lot of gamers who wouldn't have otherwise purchased a console. These gamers are going to buy a few more gamers to complement their new console since early adopters typically buy the most games. Killzone would need to be about one of the top 5 launch titles and it would likely see decent sales since there won't be that much more competition.
