One marked difference would be the price though. Nintendo has been the low-price guy at least since 2001, while Apple is always a premium brand.
By the way regarding the premium for a black model: The black MacBook is $50 more than a comparable white MacBook. It's still the mid-range model though. High-end Macs have metal casings. With iPods, white can be had for $249 to $349, while black is available for $249 to $349 as well. The $499 iPhone is silver/black, though that design might still change before release.

On iPod sales: The iPod is at 100 million units now like the PS2 etc., but it's selling faster than any video game system. 46 million were sold in 2006 alone, and they're going to sell at least 60 million in 2007, compared with 30 million or less for the DS.
