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

A capacitive touchscreen would be a step back for the WiiU. While capacitive touchscreens have advantages, they allow only the input with fingers, while the resistive touchscreens allow both, fingers and stylus. The higher accuracy of a stylus allows better drawings, something that is currently much used in Miiverse. Some people have really great skills at that. With capacitive touchscreen your drawings would be inferior.

Also Yoshis fruitcart would be really frustrating with capacitive touch: some fruits are directly besides traps, it would be nearly impossible to solve that with fingers.

pro capacitive:
* multitouch
* better responsiveness for input with fingers

pro resistive:
* better accuracy with stylus (allowing drawings)
* allowing input from stylus AND fingers

I thought there also are stylus for capacitive available ?

Wacom for example making them ...

so all pros are now also on the capacitive ones ...

but I dont think we need a capacitice one ... the resistive is doing its job well enough for what it should do.
But dont say its better because you only can use stylus on that one. Its cheaper and its doing it fine would be better :)

Wacom is another technology and not at all touch-based. The stylus (which have to be a special Wacom-one) induces an electric field that is sensed by the sensors under the display. So you cannot use Wacom-stylus on a capacitative screen, you can only use them, if it has ADDITIONALLY built in Wacom-technology. the Samsung galaxy-note does that for instance. Wacom-technology is also not cheap. so the alternative would have been to build in capacitative touchscreen+wacom-technology into the gamepad. That would have increased the price.
