A system can be extremely special and so very awesome" but still fail, if it doesn't have a killer app aspect to it (what people really wanted) and a competitor with superior funding goes into the same marketplace, with those features. Lacking funds limits your ability to compete, which was the case with Sega. Sony was able to position the PS2 as a DVD player, and get it to people in Japan, and elsewhere. Sega didn't go there. It lost as a result.
The marketplace is full of winners and losers, even losers who had good products. Talk to fans of the Amiga. Would you argue witht hem that it wasn't "extremely special and so very awesome". It is argued it is, but the Amiga isn't around any longer. Would you say that the PC and Mac are more special and awesome? They are what is left.
And now, are you going to say that the PS3 losing to the Wii is because the Wii is more "extremely special and so very awesome"? I would say no. It is because the Wii was doing ONE thing that the PS3 wasn't, and that is motion control. If Sony was in the place Sega was with the PS3 that Sega was with the Dreamcast, Spm very likely could of have dropped out of the race by now.
