Consider this...
The overhead for a redesign would include R&D for the new chipset, testing, Q&A, risk analysis, multiple levels of support for new and old, redesign of packaging to reflect altered contents, and retooling their production lines for a new SKU.
The cost savings would have to be very significant to warrant a new SKU at this stage in order to cover the overhead. Considering that Nintendo is already making bags and bags of money on their current one without changing anything, it would be foolish to change anything at this point.
Why do I get the feeling that most people saying "cost-reduction" don't know what they're talking about? -_-
