I don't know where you are getting your information, but you might want to consider this: In 2004 the Apple iPod had 56% of total market share of all mp3 units sold. Over 4.4 million iPods were sold in 2004 and that is definitely more than "one or two fans". Here is the market share of the iPod in terms of units sold since 2004, which is the first year they exceeded 50% of market share:
2004 - 56% market share (4.4 million units sold)
2005 - 72% market share (22.5 million units sold)
2006 - 72% market share (39.4 million units sold)
2007 - 70% market share (51.6 million units sold)
2008* - 68% market share (53.8 million units sold)
