SC2 was released early July 2010. D2 was released in late June 2000. WoW and its expansions in successive Christmas seasons. So, yes, I'd say that May 15 is atypically early for Blizzard. Given the online auction house component, they may feel that it's necessary to hook the summer crowd early to maximize returns from that casino.
I wouldn't be surprised if this move forced Arena Net to push back to a Thanksgiving release, since people generally don't play two online "collect-em-all" games at once.
