Because as much as they would like to companies can't just lie, they will twist statistics so far around they look like bendy straws and any number they will give will be as high as their estimates allow but they can't actually go out and tell a flat out lie.
If a company gives a direct number then it is likely that sales are somewhere within the vicinity of those numbers. If Sony had released real numbers (rather than percentages) Im sure Ioi would have taken those into consideration as well.
