Sales don't necessarily reflect whether or not a console was fun, well built, and had quality games... Sometimes it's a simple matter of another console having more 3rd party support and marketing itself successfully as an inexpensive dvd player.
The Dreamcast, Gamecube, and Xbox were all a lot of fun and offered unique experiences, but they were completely overpowered by the PS2 which essentially had the mainstream draw of the Wii for its dvd capabilities and the most robust third party support for games. The others never had a chance.
