Failure?
Failure is when you build a million units and only sell a couple
thousand. Take my word for it: you're not going to see any iMacs
languishing on store shelves. You're not going to see them on
clearance sales.

The iMac has sold pretty well over its lifetime, considering it only
filled a niche between PowerMacs and PowerBooks and had to
share it with eMacs.

If you want to see a failure, look at the tablet PC.
