I think we already discussed this. EA is required to report earnings in accordance with GAAP rules, but they also note on their reports their non-GAAP earnings. The difference is the deferred revenue that they book for Sony and Nintendo. They publish the non-GAAP numbers because they feel this gives a better measurement of what is actually happening within the quarter. The non-GAAP numbers are included for your review.
