What is taking Nintendo so long to introduce new colors for the Wii?

Nintendo doesn't need to release new colors for any system, handheld or console, until its sales reach a certain threshold of sales not being met. And the Wii has pretty much either been selling out or selling very fast for its entire lifetime, so there's no need to bring out new colors to generate new hype for the console.

It seems like it could use a little boost as of right now, not that it isn't still doing well.

They could.  A lot of people think they are going to soon, because the Wii sales have slowed, at least in comparison to the mad rate they were selling for the last 3 years.  But Iwata keeps making statements that make it seem like he thinks there's going to be no changes in the way the Wii is handled and that he thinks WiiMotionPlus and the software will help boost its sales over time.  Which I['m inclined to agree, especially when you consider some of the third party games coming out in fall/winter of this year.  Not to mention Nintendos own IPs.
