EDIT: world-wide market share (that I didn't find good numbers on in first search) also was (to) surprisingly high, so my impression was clearly wrong. Still interesting that such a specific device (and thus market segment: expensive mp3 players with hard disks) dominates so much.

I honestly can only name 2 people I know that owned iPods of various kinds, in an era where nearly everybody around me had some kind mp3 playing device.

Because iPods were 70%+ of the entire MP3 player market worldwide for years? That's certainly a valid definition of "won" in my book.

Your personal anecdotes are not data.
