The Wii didn't really need to be redesigned honestly. The N64 and Gamecube probably weren't successful enough to be worth investing in redesigns and instead, Nintendo focused on developing successors. And before then, I don't think redesigns were relevant much at all for home consoles. Depending on how how long the Wii U remains on the market, I think Nintendo could release a redesign or two.
I'm not really really sure why some here are so antagonistic towards redesigns. Redesigns can take up less physical space and are typically cheaper for both the consumer and manufacturer. And for some people, it's nice just to have a fresh overhaul of aesthetics which may have grown stale. The hostility towards redesigns just seems to be based on general hostility towards any practice that Nintendo doesn't do, with little consideration for if the practice is actually beneficial, or at least neutral.
