When a company's release schedule says "Q4" when does that mean?

Unless they choose to be ambiguous, they should write "Q4 n" if they mean n calendar year or "Q4 FYn" if they mean n fiscal year.
Obviously nothing can be safely assumed if we're talking about MS PR.

I'd say that's awfully abiguous too. What's with the random "n"?

It could be any year! For example for Ninty it could be 5000 BC, when Urgh Yamauchi sold his first game made with wooden sticks and stone balls for 10000 clams and with those earning, plus the earnings of his first love hut he founded Neolithictendo.
