I think they actually already experimented with this when developing controls for the Wii and decided against it. I remember reading an interview somewhere where they said so.

I think whatever Nintendo is going to do with it's next home console is going to have to be a big, unique concept. It can't just be something they've already done. So far we've seen "touchscreen" for DS, "Motion controls" for Wii, and "3d" for 3DS. These are 3 very different, but very big concepts.

Their next console also has to have something that can't be done on the current system. For instance, they can release a touchscreen for Wii right now and package it with a "Wii Draw" game. They don't need a new console to do that.
