PSP outsells DS in Japan

[OB1]

It worked great in Four Swords, but even then you could have had little windows pop up on the tv screen. It would have removed that privacy aspect--but that was never really important to begin with--and it would have let people play the game without having to own GBA's. The game sold like crap (for a Zelda title) because of connectivity.

And Nintendo did sort of try to make it out as a replacement for online gaming. Remember Miyamoto's comments from e3 '03? About how connectivity is better than online, blah blah blah.
