Why do people say that a console fails if its in third place?

Off topic, but: Am I the only one who thought the dreamcast had better graphics than the PS2? The PS2 always seemed kinda blurry and pixelated for my tastes.

Dreamcast games looked far better (on the whole) to early PS2 games; after a couple of years the PS2 demonstrated that it was a far more powerful system and games did end up looking better on the PS2.
