IMO what you're suggesting wouldn't work very well either. The DS works because the screens are right next to each other. I don't want to be looking up at the TV, then down at the controller, then back to the TV, etc.
I understand your concerns, but imagine playing Zelda on your TV, and the map is on the screen on your controller. Or how about Playing Mario Kart heads up. You use the TV's screen, your friend uses the controller. It has its uses.
