Yes, but you won't hear: this Chevy will be a Ford-killer! And that's what I'm getting a bit tired of. Chevy and Ford coexist next to each other, one will improve something, then the other will improve the next thing, etc.
So, more competition is great, and some companies will not be able to keep up, true, and that's good as well, because it will the other companies on their toes (that could happen to us too!)

But if you say "product x will be a product y-killer!" you imply that there's only room for one product of each type. And that, I think, is absolutely not true.
