oh, I should have posted this a while ago. I got an e-mail from Nintendo and I actually read it and I've known this for months There is no way they could ship the prizes this month, as they need the final tally, then place the order, then ship everything out. I'm sure they aren't rushing it to save money, so I'm sure they announced end of year so they could take their sweet time and not have to put resources behind it. It really is a free gift, and they won't really make anything back from it.

I don't have a problem with it taking a while to fulfill the orders.

But they've known when the year ends since they've started the program.

There's no reason to not be ready to announce what the prizes are now regardless of when they can fulfill them.

Afterall, we have to make our "orders" before they can even begin the process of shipping.

I imagine they wanted to see how many people would get platinum before choosing the prizes. If only a (relative) handful of people got platinum, a special Wiimote might be in order. If everyone and their mum made it up to 600 points, it's time to break out the replica mario hats.
