Where the hell did you get numbers for 96.

Sony didn't even have a games division yet.  They didn't until like 2000.

They had the Playstation 1 but that was grouped in with Semi-conductor sales etc and didn't lose money.

 

The PS1 was out before 2000; my 5501 series was dated November, 1997. But Sony was also around video games before the PS1, recall the history of the PS1 as the SNES-CD. In addition, there were a few Sony games released for systems like the SNES, so I'd say it's safe to say numbers go even further back than 96, though they're probably much harder to find; a small blip of another division, if you will.
