I don't think you can compare a console from 2013-17 and a console from the early 90's without adjusting for the size of the industry. Selling 40 million units in 1993 would be like selling 150 million or something now.

so selling over 40 million consoles is a failure.....

whatever you say man.

Depends how you define success. 

How do you feel when you follow your favourite sports team and they lose a match?? Technically they haven't lost because they showed up to play and hopefully did the best they could that day. So why do you and others get upset when your team loses?? So using that metric 40 million isn't a failure. Xbox turned up and are indeed selling consoles. If that is how you measure success, power to you and your favourite team.

But in years to come will people remember who came 2nd, 3rd or 4th in a generation, other than the respective fan boys? Will you be telling your grand kids, "when I was younger I played with my friends on the 3rd best console. It was the Xbox One!". I really doubt it, but maybe I'm wrong.

So, whatever you say man.
