To answer OP's question: Q3 refers to the summer season in the Northern Hemisphere, which also happens to be winter within the Southern Hemisphere. Per Wikipedia's Manual of Style regarding videogame-related topics, pages are discouraged from using hemisphere-centric words such as "summer" and "winter" to represent release dates and other quarter-year measures of time (it's perceived as regional bias). Since the Gregorian Calendar doesn't separate years to match the shift of changes (I think it's either an old Roman or Catholic church tradition or something, I'm not sure), the first quarter of the year (Q1) happens to be "winter".
