Yes, it will fail TO hit it's own metric (1 billion devices by mid 2018) and thus is a "failure" on that metric. However, saying (as this headline does) that Windows is a failure "by Microsoft's own metric" implies it has failed in the marketplace. Nope--it's reasonably popular (no doubt helped by the free upgrade).
Windows 7 is still king by a long shot, but Apple, for example, would love if MacOS/OSX's market share (all versions!) totalled as many computers as just Windows 10--it would be an approximately 50% increase in Apple's laptop/desktop market share.
