Almost, when it comes to marketing.

No doubt that MP3's market was huge already, but Ipod was the first and only MP3 which was used as an accesory, a cool one. Lots of people had MP3, expensive ones, but they were never so proud of them as they are now with their cheap but sleak Ipod. People were always trying to hide the wires, but not Ipod's ones. It's cool to walk on the street with the white cables coming out your ears.

And the very same thing I think that Nintendo is trying to do with the Wii now. Thats why the Wii is white and sleak, that's why they are paying celebrities to talk in public about the Wii.

That's why I love my iPod and Wii

Edit: The same can be said for the Nintendo DS Lite, the Polar color...I might get a Apple notebook computer too!

I'm not interested in iPod though.

I'd get a Macbook/Notebook if they were not so expensive.

I still need an i pod
