How Do MMORPG Quarters Work?

I apologize if this post is a little off topic but I can't seem to figure out what dates the Quarter system for MMORPGs are.
Do they follow the same Quarter system of the fiscal year?
- 1st Quarter: October 1, 2007 – December 31, 2007
- 2nd Quarter: January 1, 2008 – March 31, 2008
- 3rd Quarter: April 1, 2008 – June 30, 2008
- 4th Quarter: July 1, 2008 – September 30, 2008
OR
Is it some other system?
If somebody knows please shed some light on this for me.
Thanks,

not sure.. 4 x 3 = 12? ;oP
I always thought as 1st quarter being january-february-march.
Pretty sure it's
1st Quarter = January - March
2nd Quarter = April-June
3rd Quarter = July-September
4th Quarter = October- December
Though I have been known to be wrong from time to time. I just figure according to Canadian Calanders...normally the year starts in January and ends with December. I don't think the fiscal year normally comes into play when it comes to release dates.
"Fiscal Year" is a set of 3 month periods, of which 4 make up the Fiscal Year. However, exactly which set of months make up each Quarter is determined by the Company setting it up.
Calendar year quarters start with the January-March set of 3 months and proceed from there.
MMORPG release targets are stated in Calendar year quarters and are usually fictional.
