*evil eyes* use it like a scope or iron sight and when you want to scope in just hold up the controller and bang head shoot or fallout with the controller being the pipboy. or even sonic being 2d and 3d 3d on tv 2d on screen and switch with one button

How about this then:
Imagine an RTS game with Hero units, like Warcraft III. One player would be controlling groups of units RTS style on tv while a second player takes full control of the Hero unit as a third person RPG on his own screen. Could provide some interesting co-op, RTS player has better field of vision allowing him to give tips on where to go on the battlefield while he provides support with his army. Could maybe even expand the RTS series into something more. While RTS is creating buildings and units to prepare for battle, the rpg'er goes around doing small quests to gain resources quicker or unlock certain buildings for the RTS'er. Those buildings in turn provide better weapons or armor for the RPG'er.

I may be going a bit crazy here though

A pretty ambitious idea, but I think that would be really cool. Two different gaming experiences, but they work together towards the goal of winning. It would almost be two games in one. As long as the games wouldn't end up being good at both the RTS aspect and the RPG aspect but not being great at either.
