Imagine if Xbox consoles were sold without the power supply and you have to buy them separatedly. :P

Not an equivalent comparison. It would be equivalent if the 3DS simply didn't come with a battery.  

Well, that's exactly the same case. Xbox without a battery. 3DS without a battery. Neither works.

 

You could say 3DS lasts longer because it already has some battery life on it when you purchase it, but it will eventually run out, and it will be a great brick to have at your house unless you went and get an adapter. Same thing, you'll have to go to the store, grab a power supply if you don't have one already and then come back so that finally the console works.
