3DS Pedometer

Dear Nintendo:

The 3DS pedometer function gives 1 Play Coin for every 100 steps. 

The recommended daily step count for the average adult is 10,000 steps.

The daily play coin cap is set to 10, meaning 1000 steps.  This is in the user manual.

Also from the manual: the amount of play coins allowed in the system at one time has a cap of 300 for no particular reason.

You want people to carry the 3DS wherever they go.

Do you see a potential problem with this?

Sincerely,

Saber

P.S. If I want a game themed pedometer, I’m sticking with the Pokéwalker.  It is a lot smaller and much more practical to carry around.  Plus it doesn't stop giving me Watts until I reach 9999w (199980 steps).
