Remember that the DS can only play GBA games in addition to DS games. You can't get out your 12-year-old Tetris game and have it just work in a DS.

Anyway, the DS is certainly unique. Having two screens is interesting, and wireless gaming and chat is really cool for such a little system. Then again, it seems a bit awkward - to control certain games, for instance, you have to put this thing over your thumb and use it on the touch screen, while your right hand manipulates the buttons. That strikes me as a bit Virtual Boy-esque... why couldn't they keep it simpler? Like, instead of having to use the touch screen for analog control, they could have made some kind of a flat analog stick instead.
