The market cap for Sony isn't that related to the PS division value. If you had 17B and would buy all Sony stock, you would get PS, wich is nice, some good movie franchises, financial, imaging and medical divisions and so on. But you would have a multi billion dollar debit and a sick TV division. That throws the stock value down.
Remember that stock value isn't about the real value of a company. It's about future prospects. Sony could ditch the TV division and we could see a 20% bump in stocks (just an example). That doesn't means that Sony suddenly has 20% more assets, IPs and so on, it would actually have less things because they dumped an entire division. But their future prospect would be so much better. If Sony decided to sell PS, it would probably be way expensive, since it's a healthy and profitable division and has a strong brand.
