Launch Share means nothing
Well of course a device is going to capture high market share at its launch. There have been months of excitement and waiting from the buyers who wanted a Zune, and on launch, they ALL did buy one ... Several months worth of sales all in 4 days. I daresay that after Christmas, the Zune share will be a fraction of that, but we'll have to see. I agree that they need a larger range of players, and they need to add more basic feature support like podcasting (or zunecasting, or whatever their marketing department will copy, i mean come up with).

A failure? Too early to say. A success? Even earlier to say!
