The DS is still in the lead by about 1 million units, so I'm not exactly worried just yet.
I'll certainly agree wit you there. I've only bought two games so far: Mario 64, and Feel the Magic. Both good games in their own ways, but nothing super-amazing. However, there are a number of upcoming titles that I am very interested in getting.
Obviously for some games it isn't going to be the best use of the technology, but games like Feel the Magic make good use of it and it's just a blast to play. Wario Ware looks to continue that trend, along with the new Kirby and Yoshi games.
Those are all more or less failures, yes, but I'd hardly lump the DS in with them.
