Jason Shreier said at Resetera that the release date of TF2 by chosen by Respawn themselves. 

Battlefield 1 was supposed to release earlier, but a delay caused it to land right in front of TF2.

Not to defend EA, but in that instance they might not actually be at fault.

No they 100% are. If BF1 got delayed they then should have launched Titanfall 2 in March or February instead of sending it out to die. The same with BFV. If it launched this March instead with the content released since launch and the battle royale day 1 I feel they'd sell way more copies at full price. Another disastrous choice. 

Thats the gamer talking to you but I can definitely tell you that in software development missed releases is a domino effect that can cost a lot of money.  Gamers always feel that none of these types of delays have effects but they do.  Titanfall 2 did not die because of BF1, it died because of no real interest to purchase it.  If gamers had any real interest to purchase TF2 it would have longer legs meaning that it would have continued to sell for a longer period of time definitely after all the positive reviews.
