| RolStoppable said: Nintendo's corporate website uses the wording "fiscal term ended March XXXX", so I am not even sure anymore if the fiscal year ending March 2020 would be called FY2019 or FY2020. As long as you label your graphs unambiguously, it will be fine. Probably why it's common that the wording "fiscal year ending March" is being used because it's clearer which timeframe is meant. |
The convention that Nintendo uses is for FYXXXX to refer to the fiscal year that starts in April XXXX. So FY2019 is the same as the fiscal year ending March 2020.

However, the Business Insider chart is not using this convention: It clearly states that '2019' means the fiscal year ending March 2019. That's why it says that the 2019 forecast was made in April 2018.
