A bunch of XBOX games have demos of other games on them. This seems to be the norm for Microsoft games. It's a nice, obvious idea. Rogue Leader for GameCube has some DVD-like "extras" like directory commentary, making-of videos, etc. I don't think it's technically feasible to make a dual-format disc that would play in more than one console, but I wouldn't be surprised if some multi-platform publisher like Acclaim, Midway, or EA put a game movie on a DVD with a tag saying that it's available for more than one console. I guess you could consider stuff like Dragon's Lair multi-console compatible, but remember you're just playing with the DVD remote ...
