There's more to being a main character than just winning a bunch of battles. Genre conventions aside, I wouldn't say a character's win-lose record is relevant at all to whether that character is the main protagonist. While Sasuke is clearly one of the main characters, no way does an outstanding/ridiculous (pick your adjective) track record make him THE main protagonist.
