Thanks guys. Seems weird that there isn't a universal fiscal year.

I'm not so much interested in the fiscal results, more in the possibility than Nintendo might end its silence regarding upcoming games soon. Waiting for Pikmin 3 and Wonderful 101 is becoming torture.

I'm not sure why, but many people say that they'll make announcements now that the new year as started. (Can anyone explain this logic to me?)

They have an investor meeting and usually update upcoming releases.  A big part of those meetings is trying to convince investors you have a plan to grow the bottom line and the way to do that in this business is to sell consoles and software.  So showing that you have system selling software on the horizon is a good thing.  It doesn't mean they wouldn't put it out sooner, but they have to address it to some degree for the investors or investors will stay away.  I would expect if they move Pikmin and W101 past May there will be questions as launch window has flown.

So any idea when this meeting will be? Im dying for news on upcoming Wii U games.
