Take a look at Sony’s annual reports and then get back to me. PlayStation is the engine that drives the company.

    Maybe you should take your own advice, according to https://www.statista.com/statistics/297533/sony-sales-worldwide-by-business-segment/ for the latest available year there (2022) the business segment "Game and network services" is only around 26 billion out of 88 billion total.

    The sale figures are a bit misleading as the different sections also have different costs (sales make games look more important).

    The corporate reports are archived here, and the equivalent per-section breakdown is on page 37 of the 2023 report.

    https://www.sony.com/en/SonyInfo/IR/library/corporatereport/

    When comparing operating revenue (i.e. profit) the breakdown is:

    section billion yen
    games and network services 250
    music 263
    pictures 119
    entertainment technology & services 180
    imaging & sensing solutions 212
    financial services 234
    other 17

    So it looks like they made a little more profit from music that year.
