| Description Of Business And Basis Of Presentation                                   | (1) DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATIONWe develop, market, publish and distribute game software content and services that can be played by consumers on a variety of platforms, including video game consoles (such as PlayStation 3 and 4 from Sony and Xbox 360 and Xbox One from  Microsoft), personal computers (“PCs”), mobile phones and tablets. Our ability to deliver games and services across multiple platforms, through multiple distribution channels, and directly to consumers (online and wirelessly) has been, and will continue to be, a cornerstone of our product strategy. We have adopted new business models and alternative revenue streams (such as subscription, micro-transactions, and advertising) in connection with our online and wireless product and service offerings. Some of our games are based on our wholly-owned intellectual property (e.g., Battlefield, Mass Effect, Need for Speed, Dragon Age, The Sims, Bejeweled, and Plants vs. Zombies), and some of our games leverage content that we license from others (e.g., FIFA, Madden NFL and Star Wars). We also publish and distribute games developed by third parties (e.g., Titanfall). Our goal is to turn our intellectual properties into year-round businesses available on a range of platforms. Our products and services may be purchased through physical and online retailers, platform providers such as console manufacturers and mobile carriers via digital downloads, as well as directly through our own distribution platform, including online portals such as Origin.Our fiscal year is reported on a 52- or 53-week period that ends on the Saturday nearest March 31. Our results of operations for the fiscal years ending or ended, as the case may be, March 31, 2015 and 2014 contain 52 weeks each, and ends or ended, as the case may be, on March 28, 2015 and March 29, 2014, respectively. Our results of operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 contained 13 and 39 weeks each and ended on December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013, respectively. For simplicity of disclosure, all fiscal periods are referred to as ending on a calendar month end.The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited and reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals unless otherwise indicated) that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The results of operations for the current interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the current year or any other period.These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 21, 2014.Change in Estimated Offering PeriodPrior to July 1, 2013, for most sales, we estimated the offering period to be six months and recognized revenue over this period in the month after delivery. During the three months ended September 30, 2013, we completed our fiscal 2014 annual evaluation of the estimated offering period and noted that generally, consumers were playing our games online over a longer period of time. Based on this, we concluded that for physical software sales made after June 30, 2013, the estimated offering period should be increased to nine months, resulting in revenue being recognized over a longer period of time. This change in estimate resulted in an estimated decrease to net revenue and net income of $474 million and a decrease of $1.50 of diluted earnings per share for fiscal year 2014. During the three months ended December 31, 2014, this change in estimate resulted in an estimated increase to net revenue and net income of $180 million and an increase of $0.56 of diluted earnings per share. During the nine months ended December 31, 2014, this change in estimate resulted in an estimated increase to net revenue and net income of $466 million and an increase of $1.45 of diluted earnings per share. The estimated offering period for digitally distributed software games did not change and is six months. We completed our fiscal 2015 annual evaluation during the second quarter and determined that the estimated offering period for physical software sales and digital sales continues to be nine months and six months, respectively.  Recently Adopted Accounting StandardsOn April 1, 2014, we adopted ASU 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. Under the new accounting standard, an unrecognized tax benefit is required to be presented as a reduction to a deferred tax asset if the disallowance of the uncertain tax position would reduce an available tax loss or tax credit carryforward instead of resulting in a cash tax liability. The ASU applies prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist as of the adoption date. As a result of the adoption, we reduced: (a) noncurrent income tax obligations by $96 million; (b) current deferred income tax assets by $18 million; and (c) noncurrent deferred income tax assets by $11 million. We increased noncurrent deferred income tax liabilities by $67 million. As the new accounting standard only impacted presentation, it did not have an impact on the Company’s net financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.Impact of Recently Issued Accounting StandardsIn May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting. We expect to adopt this new standard in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. |
