[QUOTE="f50p90"][QUOTE="Andrew_Xavier"]Fiscal year has to do with a company's budget, it's not a randomly chosen date.
Like come on now, GTA IV comes out, and suddenly the "fiscal" (which is to do with budgeting aka spending/expendatures) year can begin? Seriously now?

Where are you getting your info from??... A fiscal year is ANY 12 month accounting period. And Sony's official Fiscal year starts in April and ends in March, and that's not new it's always been like that for Sony and ALL their figures, not just PS3..
I'm getting my info from knowing the meaning of fiscal? I'll find some links for you if you really want...

See? Nothing to do with how much quality the games have. Essentially, I rip into lemmings for this exact thing, if you are saying a year is the year for your console, it's that physical year, currently, 2008, if 2008 is the year of the ps3 (year of the Wii so far.), then 2008 needs to be the year of the ps3, not some randomly chosen dates, used simply to make things look better. The people who were claiming 2008 would be the year of the ps3, didn't say "April 2008-March 2009 is totally the year of the ps3".
What are you talking about? Companies do their financial reporting and accounting based on FISCAL YEARS which can be ANY 12 month period. Sony's FISCAL YEAR is April 1st through March 31s. That would be Sony's FISCAL 2008Believe it or not corporations don't give a damn about calendar years, they have their own fiscal years
