.xyz is by far the most registered nTLD so far, currently exceeding 1.1 million registrations and having a 16% market share amongst nTLDs. If we consider these numbers alone, .xyz would be a clear and huge success story. It should be noted, however, that domains with .xyz extensions were freely and automatically added to Network Solutions accounts and by Chinese registrars and when the domain turned 1 year old, it is promoted with a $1 registration price. The number of domains registered for full price (which is also cheap, around $10) can be way lower, maybe not exceeding 100,000 domains.
