This is complete bullcrap. My friend bought a 3DS XL a while ago and he had the same problem. The lack of charger is baffling since there are so many new customers who buy the newer version, not just people upgrading. In fact I think mostly new customers will be the ones buying and even if someone owning an old 3DS is upgrading, it is likely they'll trade in or sell their old console to fund the new one, in which case they wouldn't have the charger.

This was a terrible decision. It costs them maybe $1 dollar to make the charger. What they really want to do is sell you the overpriced charger for $10 at the store. Make more cash that way.
