Till now there was no confirmation of the time of update being rolled out. But the Sony Ericsson Italy site tells us that the update will officially rollout in March 2012.
These are the 11 lucky phones that will get the ICS update:

4. Xperia Arc
5. Xperia Arc S
6. Xperia Mini
7. Xperia Mini Pro
8. Xperia Pro
9. Xperia Active
10. Xperia Ray
11. Xperia Play
So all the phones are actually getting the update. The company is in the process of putting its custom TimeScape UI on the OS.
The facebook post by Sony Ericsson Italy also said that they are the only company to update their entire lineup of smartphones to ICS from midrange to High end. One of the commenters also said that Samsung will not be updating its low end smartphones to ICS like the Galaxy Mini and Galaxy Y.
So if you have one of these SE smartphones, you will have to wait for 4 months for an ICS update and if you dont have one of these, this may be a good time to buy one.
