Nintendo Kills Second-hand Wii Speak Sales
Serving a blow to the used games market, Nintendo has announced that the Wii Speak Channel will be available only to those who purchase a brand new Wii Speak from retailers.
The units will apparently come with a one-time activation code that cannot be replaced by either Nintendo or the retailer, effectively shooting down second hand sales of the peripheral.
Wii Speak goes on sale next month; the related Channel won’t function without a Wii Speak unit.
