From the Article:
Nintendo said the dual screens on the new game machine would let players see the same game from two different perspectives, or see game action on one screen while looking at a map of the game environment on the other.

I actually really like the idea of being able to play a game on one screen and have a map on the other.

The two different views howerver might become a bit distracting and confusing.
