Honestly Nintendo makes enough money off the current model. Infact the current model managed to hold off the 360's big redesign. Kinect despite being as successful as it is never dethroned Nintendo and Nintendo still sold more units then 360. The holidays are over and Microsoft is barely leading by only thousands of sales. (I know its alittle bigger but its still not a big enough lead to consider it a victory).
What would Nintendo do with a Wii remodel? Make it smaller (Barely possible) pack in more built in memory (Possible) make it HD (No way in hell), improve the controller (Already done with WM ). Their isn't very much Nintendo can do to remodel the Wii. Giving it a new graphics card won't work once some games require the new card the rest of the casual market won't upgrade. It would see very limited success as an add on. Built in gamers wouldn't pay an extra 50$ for a slight graphical upgrade.
Lastly why bother building a remodel when your next console is coming in 2012? (Yes I know it isn't confirmed but it is highly likely).
In the end I think the only mistake Nintendo is making as far as Wii hardware goes, is not offering Red, Blue , Green , Purple , Pink and other colour Wii's. Consumers would gladly buy new Wii's for their favorite colour. Colours have boosted sales in the past for almost all of Nintendo's hardware (Handheld or GameCube/N64) I think colours would be the perfect way to temporarily boost sales without inccuring any more costs!
