If and when each media company keeps its own content for its own streaming services and channels, I expect we'll hear a lot more from Sony again in the future, especially when, as I expect, they merge with some other media company.

Sony had a UK Animé on-demand service that closed a year or two ago. I don't recall Crackle launching over here.
Maybe Sony will end up being a major supplier to the likes of Netflix when all the other suppliers launch their own services and withdraw their content to fill them. There will be a content gap to fill once the others remove shows. The likes of Netflix will want more content from those that aren't big enough to have their own service, they can't produce it all themselves.
