A ver: recomiendo encarecidamente leer siempre que sea posible las noticias
y entrevistas originales, ya que muchas veces cuando se hacen eco en un medio español traducen e interpretan literalmente como les da la gana, dando una impresión distinta de lo que decía en realidad la noticia o entrevista original.
La noticia de la entrevista a Jim Ryan,
y de la fuente original, la puse en este post hace días:
hilo_playstation-4_1864860_s29110?hilit=jim%20ryan#p1733448037Pongo la parte de la entrevista relevante sobre el punto que nos ocupa, entendiéndose así además el contexto de la entrevista:
http://metro.co.uk/2013/08/28/sony-jim- ... d-3939866/...
GC: So I was at the Microsoft event, where I saw the two Jims.
JR: Phils.
GC: Phils, that was it. I’m not very good with names. Or accents. Quite a lot of things actually.
JR: [laughs]
GC: Do you worry that you’re falling behind now? You obviously won E3, I think anyone would admit that, but a lot has changed since then. You may have forced these changes on Microsoft but they are clearly working in making the Xbox One more attractive to gamers. So do you worry that there’s now less to distinguish the two consoles and that they’re actually now in danger of overtaking you – because as we discussed last time I think they have the better line-up of games at the moment.
JR: And that’s your opinion.
GC: That’s my opinion, but I don’t think it’s a particularly controversial one. Although I will say there’s still not much in it.
JR: Well, there’s still a hundred euros in it. Or whatever the sterling equivalent is – £80. So there’s still that. Do I worry that we’ve fallen behind…?
GC: I’m not suggesting you’ve done anything wrong. But they have caught up, it must seem that way to you.
JR: They’ve clearly, and I don’t want to impute too much to anybody else’s behaviour – it’s improper – but they obviously concluded that they had made some decisions that they needed to change and they did that. I think that it has resulted in there continuing to be some confusion round exactly what they stand for now. And I think there continues to be no ambiguity about what we stand for.
And yes, they have made a number of decisions which reverse some decisions that they previously made. And they feel they have to add FIFA 14 to their pre-orders, but every metric we look at we’re still doing fine. Whether its purchase intent, whether it’s actual pre-orders…
GC: You’ve said PlayStation 4 pre-orders are over 1 million now, but do you know roughly what they’re at? I don’t know if you have access to that sort of information?
JR: We don’t actually. We obviously talk to retailers, who quite properly will not share precise numbers with us but who are typically prepared to give an indication of how the land lies. And it varies from retailer to retailer and it varies from country to country, but I’m not hearin’ of too many places at all – at all – where they’re ahead of us.
GC: Are you considering offering a direct equivalent or response to the FIFA 14 deal?
JR: No.
GC: You’re not tempted to go and make a deal with some other game?
JR: Why should we do that? Our problem is gonna be matching supply to demand. It’s perfectly rational when a platform holder, or indeed a publisher, runs a pre-order campaign to engage in promotional behaviour to dial it up if you feel it’s not where you need it to be. That’s a rational thing for any businessman to do. We’re perfectly happy with where our pre-order are.
Our problem… we’ve actually had to turn off the day one pre-orders and now we’re onto day two. So why would we go out and add something? Giving away stuff on day one of a new platform launch, in my mind it’s kind of odd.
GC: How much of an issue is stock going to be? There seem to be conflicting rumours about both consoles being in danger of running out early.
JR: I didn’t say we were going to run out of stock.
GC: No, sure. But that’s what I’m asking. I’ve no idea what the situation is, given the various rumours.
JR: And I don’t know either, is the truthful answer. We’re just getting going with the factory production, the curve is like that [mimes a graph with exponential growth – GC]. Obviously that’s not going to come through on your recording.
GC: I shall indicate the movement of your finger.
JR: His Dundee finger. [laughs] We don’t yet know the shape of that curve and it’s only when we start to be able to triangulate as we go up it that you get a sense of it. And we don’t have those data points yet.
GC: Are you concerned that it’s going to be a serious problem?
JR: No, and it’s going to be driven by demand being greater than we thought rather than inadequacy of supply. If there is a problem, we don’t know that there is a problem – and please don’t impute from any of this that we think there’s a problem, we just don’t know.

Como se puede ver, hay cierta tirantez entre entrevistador
y entrevistado, probablemente
por algún desencuentro pasado así como porque algunas preguntas del entrevistador tienen un cariz bastante pro-Microsoft que no gusta al entrevistado.
También como se puede ver, Ryan responde a la parte que nos ocupa desde el puro punto de vista de la lógica empresarial, aprovechando al mismo tiempo para de una forma educada hacer notar el
por qué de la decisión de Microsoft de dar a las reservas el Fifa.
