Nintendo - US Billions and European Billions are different (well, in the UK although many other countries seem to use the alternative) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billion#Synonyms
<Totally irrelevant and useless trivia> A billion, in America, is a thousand million. That would be written 1,000,000,000 If we wanted to make a book with a billion dollar signs, printed 1000 per page as before and with pages printed on both sides, our book would be 500,000 pages long.Now that's a very long book! Interestingly, in England, the British define a billion as a million million. That would be 1,000,000 times 1,000,000 which would be written 1,000,000,000,000. The British book would be 5,000,000 pages long. 1,000,000,000,000 A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one advertising agency did a good job of putting that figure into perspective in one of its press releases: A billion seconds ago it was 1959. A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive. A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in the Stone Age. A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes, at the rate Washington spends it. </Totally irrelevant and useless trivia>
Not in the England I live in. Vodafone posted a £14.8 Billion loss the day before yesterday, in my book that's 14 thousand million. In Holland we use Miljard (Milliard) for 1000 million and then Triljoen (Trillion) again for million million. It will be confusing to express my net worth in a few years
