In nature, agree. In business, also agree. But with one addenum:
"It is not the best that survives, but the most responsive to change and/or the one with best marketing machine."
By product, compare BetaMax disc to VHS tape; compare DR Dos with MS Dos, et al (marketing).
By company, compare stoggy IBM in the 80s with Microsoft, compare Kreskees (KMart) and Woolworths (WoolCo) with WalMart, even Travelocity (1999) with PriceLine (2004), et al. (adaptivity and marketing).
