Companies compete, in unequal parts, by brain and by muscle. "A" marketing with "B" product beats "B" marketing of "A" product most of the time. Money can be applied to weaken the competitor or tilt the playing field, then your product can be inferior.

You can substitute a lot of different subjects in for "software" there.
