Honestly, 3DS will survive on the strength of Japan alone. It has several major releases coming this week, so its sales will get a good boost, and the games will keep coming. By the end of March we'll have Luigi's Mansion, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, Castlevania, Monster Hunter... I don't think it'll fall below this week's numbers any time soon. Maybe for a week in mid-March it'll be a bit lower, but I doubt below 120k.
50m is certainly a stretch at best and inconceivable at worst. 45m is more reasonable. Don't underestimate Pokémon.
