It costs too much nowadays to launch a console. They would be better off continuing to revise the consoles instead.
Game Budgets getting larger to make games for a smaller market (HD owners, or even smaller 1080p owners) = MASSIVE DAMAGE to the entire industry. Sony and MS are hurting gaming.
Profit eliminated, less games being made. Wii Ware, XBLA, and PSN are not viable replacements in the large scale, because even fewer people are willing or desire purchasing online (you can get free games online, many better than ondemand offerings).
I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
