If they have a console and a handhelds with the same games, wouldn't most people just buy the handheld because It's cheaper?

It wouldn't matter, because as long as games are being sold Nintendo makes money. The availability of two platforms is mostly for user convenience, to offer them an option. The money would be made either way and most profits would instead be made on Software (which is much more logical as many console loss-lead nowadays).

I'm not sure that's what they're doing though. It seems to me they are just going to merge the Eshop and have very similar architecture, that they are familiar with on both of the systems to save time so they cab avoid droughts. The way you think it is would kill their console business.
