Soooo did the Xbox One X succeed?

Well how many people require the most powerful console to play COD, etc, is a question, and how many would rather spend considerably less and be able to buy more games is another.

One big problem the XB1X has is that PS4 has mostly wrapped up all of the major 3rd party franchises this gen already. It's possible PS may lose some of them due to XB1X, but with the sales figures and trajectory for PS4 overall, it's unlikely to change this gen.

XB1X does a great job of healing wounds, but It's not really meant to win a war. XB2 will be that warrior when the time comes.

The X1 is the the least technically capable console available and is 4 years old. The PS4, and increasingly, the PS4 Pro, are acting as a baseline for development. So new hardware is on the verge of being required to enjoy this generation of games without taking a sizable performance hit.

And I'm not sure what major 3rd party franchises are "locked up" on PS4, but when you compare the top 20 selling titles for Xbox One and PS4, the lists are largely the same. Capcom even put Monster Hunter World on Xbox One because of the significant market the Xbox One represents.

There's no war. It's not a zero sum game

You might be right about the top 20, but how many of thouse release every year? You most likely will see the same ones, COD, fifa, assasin creed, battle field, destiny ext. no more than 2 or 3 a year wich some release every year and others every other year on the hollidays. Thats not something gamers look foward to. if you separate them by year you see a whole other story. not just that, exclusives for sony tend to be spreed out making sure we have something to play along the year. Most big third party are october and november.
