Corner placements aren't always advantageous. Keep in mind if your few neighbors are extremely powerful you are effectively cut off from any help or even expansion that you may hope to take.
Yea I've been in that position before. While I think it can possibly be advantageous to start in a corner you have much more limited options expansion wise. I'm pretty sure I'd never elect to start in the corner if it was the exact corner. Of course that doesn't mean that many maps (randomly generated ones probably) give out corner starting positions that are too generous.

I'd be interested in seeing the statistics proving that more winners start in the corner...
