Nintendo of America Comments on Lack of Charger with New 3DS XL in North America

[PenguinZ]

"New Nintendo 3DS XL uses the same AC adapter as any Nintendo 3DS or Nintendo DSi system. Rather than raise cost of New Nintendo 3DS XL by charging consumers for a component they may already own, we are giving them the option to only buy if they need an AC adapter."

 

I think Nintendo needs to look up the definition of option and choice again... They've been using them in situations which I don't think apply. All products that have a REQUIRED component that is needed for that item to consistently work should have it included within the initial purchase. It's like selling an Xbox One or Playstation 4 without a controller, because some consumers "might" already have that component.
