As more and more ADS-B stations get installed XM will be hard pressed to
sell their weather package. I just saw in Controller magazine a box that
is out now that receives the transmissions for ADS-B and from mode S
transponders. It plugs in to your computer and shows you a radar screen
picture of the traffic near you.

How would that effect their sales of airborne weather (strategic)?

You'll get the same thing for free.

/Aviation Consumer/ and /IFR Magazine/ both project that ADS-B is still a
few to five years away from complete US mainland coverage.
