Not only is that the shortest month of the year by at least 2 days unless we happen to be in a leap year, which lucky us in this case I guess, but summer tends to be the slowest time for game releases. I would think June or July would be better months to go for something like this.
I think that's the point. You're meant to complete four games by the end of the month without buying new ones just to beat them. So the slower relese windows will be less of an excuse to buy new games. Also The shorter month means you have to play faster, making it a better challenge. The third (and best) reason I can think of is... there are no other months that have a "F." I mean we could have "Nine in November," "Seven in September," or "One in October" just as well, but four just sounds right to play in a short amount of time. Plus what is 2 fewer days to beat a game? The last reason I can think of is... because he says so.
