It can't get much smaller than it is already and what can be done won't make a difference to the consumer. I have yet to here someone complain that the Wii is too big or has an ugly design.

I don't think it was the actual redesign that boosted PS3/360 sales though. My guess is that it simply spurred a lot of interest in the console ("oh cool, a new console, perfect time to finally buy PS3/360") and allowed rebuys. I really can't see any consumer buying a product because it's now "thin" enough to suit their purposes.

Obviously the price drop played a bigger role in the case of the PS3, for the 360 it was more the expectation of better reliability than the difference in size (which wasn't a lot anyway). And you are right, a redesign spurs interest, because it makes the console look new. 

But a redesigned Wii wouldn't look much different than the current Wii, unless Nintendo made it bigger. I just don't see that happening.

Rol do you live in the united states, i believe i read you are from australia, if thats true then honestly thats why you don't know what a redesign can do, number one there were plenty of rebuys for the ps3, and why would someone buy a whole new console just because of the "questionable reliability" when they could send it in for cheaper, Rol people buy redesigns because of the spurred interest like you said

Edit: i admit a redesign is pretty much just my speculation, but im sure the wii could still pull a cool 17 million in 2011 without a redesign
