They can make profit, focus on software and becoming a competitor for the Wii, like I said in the OP.
When I say they should give up the fight for marketshare, I mean the expensive and unprofitable tactics they use to get as many consoles out there as possible, such as aggressive price cuts when they're selling hardware at a loss, and money-hatting for exclusives. Obviously I don't mean they should stop competing, cede the market or anything like that. The justification for the aggressive fight for marketshare is no longer there, it's clear that from this point on both consoles will be well supported, neither has the possibility of a PS2-like surge in developer support, and neither is going to be dropped like the Gamecube.
And naturally, I am talking about their interests, not mine. If I was to talk about my interests I'd say they should make the games I like and sell them to me for 50c, but there's no point in talking about things like that since it's their interests they would be motivated by.
A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.
