ps2 is free , so anyone can play as long as they have a pc.
this partially negates the rush to make a winter/summer launch imho.

correct, still winter/spring are the bigest selling periods mostly due to the promoting campaigns they get; the majority of people (not only students but working people as well) have day-offs during these periods (Christmas/Easter holidays) and the purchasing power at that time (gifts) hits its ceiling.
A release "sometime" during the year requires more marketting/promoting to catch the attention of the people.
I bet on a beta on August or July
