It depends on what you want to achieve. For a realistic soundstage it is important to have main speakers well positioned. For deep bass extension and for correcting/controlling room modes, location of subwoofers is key.
The issue whilst low frequencies are (in the simplest of terms) somewhat omnidirectional room modes cannot be ignored.
If you are looking to have the room shake for explosions, etc. Yes go for a corner placement, it will probably give you the most bass energy BUT the frequency curve of the low frequencies could be (most certainly will be) all over the place.
