 Why would you upgrade when each new version came out? Would you ditch the 1G Zune when the 2G units came out?

I don't know squat about Sandisk, only that it is an inexpensive mp3 player, which probably explains why it has a bigger share of the market than the Zune.

Interesting... so from your perspective, the Zune is better-marketed. Sandisk is not just about inexpensive MP3 players -- they still are the only major manufacturer to have a player that will stream subscription music over WiFi, for example.

However there is a growing number of people who do compare and look at features and make a educated decision instead of simply playing follow the leader.

It's interesting that the Zune is preferred in your household, but the overall marketshare numbers don't support your hypothesis. I would also argue that players like the iPod touch have their own unique features that the Zune does not have, so it's not merely a "follow-the-leader" metric (although I would agree that's a nontrivial part of it).
