It's economy, I know, and every company wants the maximum of profit. But to be honest, I highly doubt that a competition with another artist would effect Ayu's sales that much, that Avex would lose money. Seriously, in fact, it could be better regarding the sales if Ayu is up against a big competitor.
So, yeah, I still believe it's ridicolous to shift a release date just because of competition and the will to keep her No.1 streak. Chart positions don't necessarily say something about sales and money.
