Don't think so
A quick glance at Media Markt flyer (German electronics store) from today.

Front page, Liteon DVD recorder, *MP3*, DVD, Dolby, CD, DTS, DVD+R, DVD+RW, VCD, SVCD, JPEG, . No WMA, no WMA Pro, no AAC. 329 Euros

Inside, 2 CD/CDRW players (no special format support).

MXOnda, a portable CD/CDR/RW *MP3* player, no WMA, no AAC 74 Euros.

Pioneer DV 360S, DVD Writer, DVD-R/RW CDR/RW *MP3*, VCD SVCD JPEG. 129 Euros.

Clarion car CD stereo, just regular CD/CDRW support. (What no MP3? are Clarion asleep)

Not a very good selection in this flyer, but still 50% of audio devices support Mp3 and 0% support WMA, AAC or OGG.

It could be Europe is different, but seems to me that MP3 continues extending its lead.

But I agree with the Ogg comment, it sounds great its free to use and there's a nice integer implementation. I notice its quietly making its way into players. So maybe it'll creep into everything like SVCD seems to be (see above).
