    Lol. [i]"Please be aware that, in the following remarks, statements made with respect to Sonyʼs current plans, estimates, strategies and beliefs and other statements that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements about the future performance of Sony. These statements are based on managementʼs assumptions in light of the information currently available to it, and, therefore, you should not place undue reliance on them. Sony cautions you that a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements".[/i] That's the disclaimer that began the Q1 earnings call. This is the transcript of the CFO's presentation: [url]https://www.sony.com/en/SonyInfo/IR/library/presen/er/pdf/25q1_sonyspeech.pdf[/url] Here's the presentation itself: [url]https://www.irwebmeeting.com/sony/fast/20250807/Hm92pdqE/202603_1q_02_en/01_speech/index.html[/url] As you'll note these comments are not included in the script or presentation. And actually, if you watch or read the presentation... she credits Bungie in part for a 40% increase in revenue per the Sony 1st party portfolio. The comments Ali is misrepresenting comes from the Q/A session after. Here: [url]https://www.irwebmeeting.com/sony/fast/20250807/Hm92pdqE/202603_1q_02_en/03_qa/index.html[/url] Integration started 1 year ago time and is ongoing. 😇👍💠 Tldr: The most important statement made during the Q1 presentation, not referenced by the hate baiting journalist Ali, [i]"In our studio business, our live service game revenue is steadily growing thanks to the MLB The Show series, [b][u]Destiny 2[/u][/b] and Helldivers 2, and [b][u]it contributed more than 40% of our first-party software revenue during the quarter[/u][/b]".[/i] Do people know what "1st party" means? It means Bungie IS... and HAS been a 1st party Studio... A Sony Studio. Like I've said many times before guardians. It means, that Destiny 2 is partly responsible for a 40% increase in revenue for Sony. Stop lightning tiny matches and handing them out as torches... It's ridiculous. It's a gross negative mischaracterization of reality.
