I hope not, because the potential for systems like this is great.

Imagine it with an open faced dock below your TV, but the console screen is running a mini map, for example. It could show your inventory or missions and side quests in adventure games.

If it's a touch screen, a long display cable could let it be a part of the game. Building things or making potions could be done on it by dragging and dropping, or stirring with your finger.

It feels like there's a lot of possibilities, but nobody's trying them out yet.

I'm sure there are ways around the Nintendo patent :) and yes I imagine stuff like this would be great for DS/WiiU emulation.
