How many failed Vocaloids there are depends on what you consider a failed Vocaloid. Crypton/Yahama called Kaito a failure when he sold less than 1000 units after his initial release (though as we know, he became popular later, and would today definitely be considered a success). That's one of the only things we know that consitutes an 'official' failure, and its parametres may have changed since then. We can't often use this, since the sales figures of Vocaloid aren't usually released. You can tell a company had a bad time if they cancel future projects and don't make any more Vocaloids, but it's quite a hard thing to estimate.

In the end, what makes a Vocaloid a 'failure' is up to you. Some people would say not being a regular in the Weekly Rankings constitutes failure, others would say less than x songs per month is a failure, etc.
