They did with the GameCube.

The GameCube absolutely spanked the Dreamcast and PS2 in terms of performance, and wasn't far off the original Xbox.

But the PS2 demolished the GameCube in sales. Thet outsold them about 8 to 1. So that just makes it another example of the high end hardware NOT helping their sales like the comment you replied to was saying.
