You and everyone else in this thread are assuming maliciousness, as if they're going to retroactively file claims against anyone who uses the term... OR SOMETHING. (???)
You really think they would squander the goodwill they established over the past few years with a dumb move like that? Come on, you're smarter than that.

As I understand (I am not a lawyer) with trademarks you have to enforce them if you don't want to lose many of your rights. They're different from copyrights in that way.

Pretty cringe but Sony has done worse.
Remember those stupid ass commercials with "Sony's own Kevin Butler"?
Did ANYONE find those funny?
This seems like it makes sense, and would probably be my guess as well. And if that's the case, then cool, I see no issue with it.
Yeah, I dont get it how some people didnt like those ads, they were awesome
There are people that didn't like the Kevin Butler campaign? I don't even.
Sony needs to bring him back.
They can't retroactively do anything. As long as they use this as, say a tagline to an ad they're "enforcing it". Enforcing doesn't mean find everyone who's used the term and tell them to stop.
He helped revitalize the brand.Pretty cringe but Sony has done worse.

Sony wishes they could ever have a marketing character as cool as that, again.

This could literally be anything. We do need more info but I think the first page is filled with gross overreaction.

Could be part of a new ad campaign?
Nah dude, it's clearly a malicious attempt to cash in on YouTube Lets Plays! Arrogant Sony is back! /s
Sounds like it's just a tagline (This is for the players/It only does everything/Jump in etc.), rather than them trying to claim the term in the way it is used for videos.
The amount of people in here overreacting without the slightest knowledge of copyright law...
Relax guys. Sony's not about to steal a part of your vocabulary.
