Could Nintendo's next home console entice the early adopters/graphic whores?

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.

It has its uses, but I feel like we've already seen them with the Dreamcast VMU and the Gamecube-GBA link. Neat for a few things, but nothing mindblowing. I don't think making the screen larger and a touch screen is a colossal step up. Hell, the Wii and DS are linkable, and what's that been good for? You can download demos and I think some Pokemon game used it. There is also Remote Play for PS3/PSP, but only a few games use it, and I don't know of any games that make any use of PS3-PSP connectivity in any other way.

If the system comes with both a Wii-style controller and one of these, which is basically a Classic Controller with a big touch screen, I won't mind. Each can have its place. What I would mind is if this is the sole standard controller, and controller-screen functionality is shoehorned into every game.
