Could Nintendo add a capacitive touch screen in a WiiU redesign?

If it makes it more accurate then lets do it!

it wouldn't, capactive might make touch with your fingers slightly more responsive, but not enough to be that noticeable.  However, you would lose the very precise stylus touch.  

Capactive touch screens really only make sense if you are adding multi touch.  However, like the OP said, Nintendo can't really do that without fracturing their base.  So, basically, you would lose more than you would gain if Nintendo did this.  

you really want to pull out your stylus in the middle of a game all the time?  I would rather use my fingers.

The stylus is positioned right next to the shoulder button.  If you wanted to use your fingers, you would have to take your hand off of the shoulder button and touch it (where as the stylus you can pull it out as you remove your hand from the shoulder button).  It isn't really that big of a deal at all.
