#1 This hurts it more than a lot of the fans for the 360 think, but the staple games are first person shooters and sports games. I realize there are exceptions, but on a whole there is a certain hardcore demographic that it plays to.
#2 is also going to be hard. The Wii sailed in and stole most of the sales that it might have gotten by dropping the price this year.
#3 is the big one. I have a lot of friends who are holding off until they solve this problem. Having nearly a new story a day by a journalist whose console ringed followed by people talking about their terrible experience with customer service does not help the system at all. I'm just praying mine never gives up the ghost.
