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.  

slightly more responsive? no its way more responsive

No, it really isnt.  It really comes down to the software being used here.  The actual touch capabilities are pretty close to the same.  It comes down the software and the way the programmers use the hardware that really determines how responsive it is.
