Has anyone thought that part of the lack of demand for the iPod Touch is that it hasn't been updated for so long?
I still believe that there is a market for the touch, for people getting into the iOS ecosystem, for kids (Who don't need iPhones) and for Android users who wish to use iOS apps and have their iTune media.
I do think that the next iPod Touch will be rebranded an iPad Nano.. just a theory. I reckon it should get an A8 processor, as by mid year (when I think it will be released) the A8 will be approaching being 1 year old.
Not every parent wants their children running around with an iPhone or an iPad, and many people don't want a contract. Here in Australia an 8GB 5C is $529 (off contract) and that is 8GB (16 or 32 GB are the realistic minimum). The iPod Touch is $249 for double that storage, in a thinner case.
People who buy an iPod get stuck in apple's ecosystem pretty well, and that leads to purchases of future Apple products, which can only be a good thing!
Basically my point is that yes sales are significantly down, but who could blame people for not wanting to buy a iPod with 4 year old internals.
