What Id like to know is how is the year broken into quarters.

Like

Q1- jan - march

or how is it broken up?

I just notice some games say they are arriving in q2 of 2009 and Id like to know which date that pertains to... if this makes any sense?

well q2 is vague and could be any of the months in q2, most likely near the end of the last month in q2.

The world doesn't go by school quarters, they typically use financial quarters.

Quarters depend on the the specific companies financial year. Like Hewlett-Packard works from October to October. I beleive Capcom is March to March. I remember them saying that SF IV and RE 5 were coming out in their Q4
