Edit: Release date narrowed

... SimCity comes to retail and Origin in February 2013.

Older article:

EA has until today been rather vague surrounding the launch date for its new SimCity game.

But the publisher has now confirmed its launch for 'Q4 fiscal year 2013', which puts it down for launch any time from January to March 2013 on a normal person's calendar.

There is a typo in the article.

Ocram's Razor: Though "more things shouldn't be used than are necessary," they're just too fun to pass up! Expect many verbose arguments from me. I will try to write abstracts before or short summaries after from now on.

Words to live by:
"Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit. But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. For to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit; to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit... But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually..." 1 Corinthians 4-11
"Do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:34
"Do not judge so that you will not be judged. For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you." Matthew 7:1-3

I am so confused by this article. Is it Q1 or Q4? Is it a typo or are they just messing with our heads?

Ah well, may as wait for an official announcement.

Is Q1 too early a date to release the game? Seems a little rushed to me.

I find Q1 hard to believe. If I were making a game, and planned on releasing it Q1 2013, i wouldn't say "2013", i'd say "Early 2013". I will be surprised to see it before Q4.

EA's fiscal years start April 1 the year before. Their fiscal year 2013 works as follows:

Q1 = April-June 2012

Q2 = July-September 2012

Q3 = October-December 2012

Q4 = January-March 2013

According to this, Q1 in the regular calendar year 2013 does equate to Q4 in the EA fiscal year 2013. The last 9 months of calendar year 2013 are actually in EA fiscal year 2014.

So we've obviously entered Q1. Hmmm. No, no way, there's no way it's in Q1.

It's in fiscal Q4, which is the first quarter of next year. It's easily possible.

To search for the ideal city today is useless. For all cities are different. Each one has its own spirit, its own problems, and its own pattern of life. As long as the city lives, these aspects continue to change. Thus to look for the ideal city is not only a waste of time but may be seriously detrimental. In fact, the concept is obsolete; there is no such thing.

Well I can't wait, but I hope they don't rush it so it suffers like 4 did.
