Today a new model of DSLR come with more and more Megapixel 12,16,21 etc. and one thing we know about that is

the more megapixels , the more it costs. right? but Is More Better?

Photo that contains 10 million pixels is physically larger file than one with only 8 million then the first photo with should look better.

Almost right but not at all. When you viewed or printed at small sizes they are hard to tell which one is better.
you will see a difference in quality when printed it at large size.Let’s see this.

Megapixels          Print Size (max.Inches)
2.0                             4 x 6 [standard]
3.0                             5 x 7
4.0                             8 x 10
5.0                            8 x 12
6.0                            9 x 12
8.0                            11 x 14
10.0                         12 x 16
12.0                         16 x 20
14.0                         18 x 24

If you take a photo with 8.0 Megapixels you can print you photo in high quality at 11 x 14 or smaller. If you want bigger size you want more Megapixels if you don’t want to print in big size it’s not necessary to get more Megapixels.
