Nintendo not replacing WiiU for at least a few more years! ~Iwata

Nintendo refers to a lot of things as FY Ending ___, whether in future or in retrospect.
Hence, on their consolidated sales documents available on their IR site they list FY3/2013 as the year that included most of 2012. The current FY in progress is FY3/2015.
It is just nomenclature but it's darned important to understand what the company means lest we be off by more than a year.

Edit: Visiting their IR site just now is the first I've seen them explicity refer to a year not by the month it ends. So maybe they are bringing in more of the usual nomenclature.

Why are you making things up? The answer is right on their IR Page, the one you just quoted.

FY 2013 (ended March 2014)

You should have checked before writing that.

This is not the first time I've visited their IR page. I've been referencing it and their consolidated sales documents for a while, and I was merely stating what I've seen in such experience. A quick look at one of the documents linked there would show you that they still do refer to every single year within them by the month they ended, as I said, most recently being FY3/2014.

For example, this fully updated document.

I'm not making things up at all, and I checked after writing, upon which I became surprised and came back to  acknowledge that IR does indeed now use the typical nomenclature. However, that's only within the website navigation and headers, as within reference documents the naming is still as I described.
See where I'm coming from tres? I wouldn't be so up in arms if not for being told I'm making things up.

Compare with Sony's consolidated financials, where it's clearly all about starting year in the documents.
