And now sony has also lost the retailers business due to lack of sales.

It was packaged in clear plastic, but covered 100% with cardboard. I bought three wireless mice as well. None of them said 2-AA batteries included, but all came with batteries. Installed no less. The mice were $12 each.
This Walkman was $30. It has AM, FM, and a clock. Most likely using an IC that is <$1 in bulk. I don't think that expecting a $30 walkman to contain the ONE AAA battery it requires is an outrageous thing to expect. I'm half tempted to go back and buy the off-brand "walkman" for $10, just to see if it comes with a damned battery.
