About half of the 3DS audience is from Japan, and the Japanese aren't into consoles anymore.
Also 50 million 3DS' sold doesn't actually mean 50 million discreet users either. I own three 3DS units, my brother has two, a lot of families with kids buy more than one per household for each child but they often share the game cartridges. With a console though those parents would likely only buy one console and the kids all would have to share it.
But you're right to the extent that I think Nintendo's next "console" will basically be just a way to play their handheld games on the television. So to that effect they will be targetted the same audience as it will effectively be the same library.
