It's not so much that Nintendo is being noble.
Rather, Nintendo knows that their games rarely end up on the used game market in any large numbers. That's why their games hold their value so long, why Nintendo games released for the Wii in 2006 and 2007 were still at or near full price in 2009, while games like Call of Duty were down to a fraction of their launch price.
Nintendo recognises that it's the developer's job to prevent their games from turning up on the used game market, by making it less likely for the customer to want to sell the game.
That Nintendo's attitude is consumer-friendly is a side-effect, rather than inherent part of their attitude.
