That was more seats than the 3 opposition groups combined. That election which gave them the overwhelming seats in parliament was a democratic election with an enormous electoral turn out. So it is fair to say that Hitler was in fact elected by majority votes. In 1933 the NSP won 288 seats before Hitler was appointed Chancellor.

The NSDAP did have more votes in the election for Parliament (not majority though: this was achieved after making a coalition with two other parties, they only got about one third of the vote), but Hitler wasn't appointed Chancellor because the number of votes, but because backroom deals and pressure to the Hindenburg. Majorities may be wrong, there's no denying in that, but no majority ever elected Hitler.
