Lower capacity iPod, Aperture sales surprisingly strong

The analysts commented that this information may surprise some iPod followers, given that the 4GB nanos were outselling the 2GB models by a wide margin immediately following their introduction.

"It appears that holiday shoppers (particularly first-time iPod buyers) are more concerned with the price point as opposed to the storage capacity," Wu said. He believes this is a sign that Apple's bet $199 price point for the 2GB nano has begun to pay off, in the same it did with the $199 4GB iPod mini. Story
