Absolutely not the case.
Wikipedia cites an article in Japanese saying that about 220 million Sony Walkman devices were produced before discontinuation in 2010. Even if you quadruple that for other brands, you're not even close to 1/4 of the world at the time they first came out.
- kjkjadksj 3y agoI don’t think you will ever get full numbers. People in Kazakstan or kenya in the 1980s definitely had this sort of thing but I doubt it would be a first party sony walkman product. A portable tape deck/radio is cheaper than a larger stereo.
