Many wondered what would come next? Looks like Sony is taking it easy and letting their providers fend off the attack. Who have went on to block many of the attackers ip addresses and sony has contracted a outside company to keep its domains up. But the plan seems to be encase of future attacks is to just wait it out until they get bored.

This still does not answer the questions if Sony is even considering any of Anonymous demands, but its hosting company does not seem to think the attack is that bad, calling it only "medium strength" and only a annoyance.

Ars Technica reports that sources within Sony's hosting provider belittled Anonymous' cyber-attack as "medium strength," and something that only "annoyed our network engineers." The hosting service's plan is to wait out Anonymous until the attackers get bored.
Sony has contracted with the cyber-attack mitigation service Prolexic to keep its domains running. Anonymous evidently has experience attacking both Prolexic and this hosting provider.
