Woops, this is for video games, not consoles. In that case, either it's over 1 million, meets a particular goal, does as good as a predecessor, or its success depends on what other game you compare it to. Yeah... The success of a game only depends on what other game you compare it to. For example, Super Mario Sunshine is a success when compared to Ratchet and Clank, but a failure when compared to Super Mario 64, in terms of sales. No, it wasn't a failure in terms of reviews. It just barely missed the mark of 64's 95% on Game Rankings, or 94% on Metacritic. Only in terms of sales.
