When is Q4?

[Deleted member 56031]

Within what range of Months is Q4?

Wikipedia said July to September but it is said that EP2 will be released at Christmas, so what is it?

Q4 means the fourth quarter of the year. In buisness they divide the year into four quarters.

So that means EP2 should be out about Christmas, thanks. :thumbs:

No, Easter holiday, I think.

release dates for games are rarely given for a fiscal year, unless it's in a shareholder presentation or something

ep2 is currently scheduled for q4 of calendar 2006

edit: wait, scratch that
I think it is due 'before the end of the year'

Yep, however when someone says Quarter 4/3/2/1, what you think about is the last quarter in their fiscal year. But game companies always missuse the term.

 

[jimmyjam]

using quarter for a calendar year is completely valid and often used
just not as often as fiscal
