We all know that sometimes games that are not exactly good can sometimes be huge commercial successes (I e 50 cent bulletproof). Is it possible for an inferior system to do better financially than a superior overall system? Like a dreamcast versus a N64?

Maybe for a short while, but not in the long-run.

The inferior PS2 dominated the other superior systems. Actually, the most powerful system has never won the war.

Who says the PS2 was inferior to the XBOX?  Maybe we need to define what the TC meant by inferior, because I didn't feel like the PS2 was inferior to the XBOX.

PS1 beat the N64. PS2 beat the GCN and Xbox. GameBoy beat the GameGear. DS is beating the PSP. Technologically it's nothing new for an inferior product to beat a superior one.

I owned a Sega Saturn.  I kept reading about the amazing 2d games for the Saturn in Japan and how it crushed everything else out.  I never got to play those games.

no software will mean more, the system with the bigger library and can attract a larger audience than one specific one will win.
