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.

then use your fingers.  My point is that a compactive touch screen isn't going to improve responsiveness enough that it would be noticeable.  For gaming, developers aren't going put in the need for extreme precision, so responsiveness doesn't matter.  For menus and what not, using the stylus is easier and more effective then using your fingers.  However, if you want to use your fingers go ahead, but putting in a compactive screen isn't going to improve responsiveness enough that you would notice.
