I'm confused. You guys say FY 2018 in future tense, where in fact FY 2018 just ended last month. We're now in FY 2019.

For Nintendo, FY3/2018 just ended last month, which is another way of saying FY 2017. If you include the "3/", it indicates when the fiscal year ends, but if you don't, it indicates when the fiscal year begins.

Look at how they organize their IR information:

I guess the Japanese way of describing fiscal years is different than in Europe.
