Haha, Q as in quarter. Quarter 1 being the beginning of the new years and Q4 being the holiday season.

Q refers to the quarter of the year.
Q1 - Jan-March
Q2 - Apr-June
Q3 - July-Sept.
Q4 - Oct-Dec.

Same goes with the seasons.
Q1 = Winter
Q2 = Spring
Q3 = Summer
Q4 = Fall

Every year begins with Winter. So if a game comes out winter 2004, then it'll be coming out in the beginning of the year.

When they write that, don't get your hopes too high. They never get it ontime unless they set a certain date.
