Not a chance
If they wanted to make a cheaper model they'd just do a plain old price cut, it's not like they're losing money on each 3DS - not even close

A point I should have elaborated on is if the 3D aspect hurts the system later on. Then even if the screen cost less, it's very existence could hurt sales.

What do you mean?

It's based on the concept of "box office poison", where it's noted that an element in a film is so disliked, usually an unpopular actor, that audiences will stay away from a film just because of that element. Take a film by Uwe Boll is box office poison. Thus if 3D turns out that way, and in any medium that has it, then potentially Nintendo would have to distance the 3D aspect of the system to avoid losing the mainstream.

remove the 3d == remove the reason why i want it, completely pointless nintendo would never do that because it would scream that they lack confidence in their master plan for 3ds...

This is about if the mainstream looses confidence in 3D later on, not if Nintendo doesn't feel it's strong enough now. It doesn't matter if Nintendo likes the aspect if it eventually turns out that their customers want their products without it.
