I think you're mixing apples and oranges here. The movies (Part I and II) differ in Vito's birth year, but the novel never mentions it, nor does it give us a clue about what his age is. The movie (Part II) points to 1916 as Sonny's birth year, so Vito would've been either 25* or 29 when Sonny was born.
*The age 25 comes from my calculation that Vito was born in 1891, not 1892.BTW, there was a good discussion here on this subject last year. Click on
