my thoughts:
1 - no. I think a lot of people are going to realize that the arcade is a crippled version of the 360 and not want it
2 - Always an issue, but smart people have gone out and are buying them NOW as they are a little easier to find. With the unit approaching its 2nd birthday, people got the hint that you're not going to automatically walk into a store and find one during the holidays.
3 - E3 generally holds no interest for anyone since they changed it. Many people didn't expect anything from anyone at E3. The only people that were actually disappointed were the fans who heard rumors of Kid Icarus and F Zero. While there were no "core" games announced, suddenly we get get Day of Crisis out of the blue. 3rd party offerings also seem to keep the crowd content.

I don't forsee any of the issues really being issues at all. People who want a cheap 360 will get the arcade, but parents turn into cavemen in the stores. They know Wii. They dont know 360, unless their kids requested that. I've never even once seen or heard of a parent substituting a christmas present request with a runner-up "eh, good enough" present.
