Why not a laptop? Smaller screen for one...
Why not just use a DVD player? Well, because most people already have one... and unless you buy a remote for your console, it's much more convenient to use a DVD player. And even if you do, wouldn't it be easier to be able to just leave games in your console, and put DVDs in their own unit?
I think the "console as DVD player" thing mattered a lot around 2000 or so, but matters much, much less now. People already have ways of playing DVDs, whether it be DVD players or other consoles... no one cares whether the Wii can or not.
