tl;dr many books are lower where they were before the relaunch, many are the same, very few are higher, most of more obscure titles failed, and crossovers, #1s/variants, and events are holding them up.
>Can it be considered a success?
They're still #1 despite the strategies they're pulling so maybe, but Rebirth may tip things into DC's favor like new 52 did for a bit, so they're probably worried a bit
>And if not does Marvel have another relaunch coming up?
They're doing seasonal model, so yes
Marvel Now, fall 2016.
Couldn't even bother coming up with a new name for it and instead with the name of one of the more successful relaunches of theirs.
>They're doing seasonal model
So a relaunch after every major crossover?
It has no effect outside of the #1 bumps, but without seeing their internal numbers there's no way to know whether they see that as ok. Though I guess continuing to do it mean that they think nothing is wrong.

But the new 52 was still behind Marvel in sales even when it was brand new. It just had higher than average DC sales. And that was before Marvel had Star Wars titles bolstering their numbers.
