Both are (essentially) just continuations of what Nintendo started with the Gameboy and N64, and enhanced with the Gameboy Advance and Gamecube.
In order for this type of connection to be viable the number of people that own both a home console and portable system has to be large enough to support games made for this combination, the connection between the two systems has to be simple, and the two systems have to be able to add something interesting to the other system.
I think the DS offers a lot of interesting possibilities for Wii games (the touch screen alone could be huge if you wanted to allow user generated content), and both could end up with very large userbases (with a lot of overlap).
