I don't know why they are trying to cover it up. People'll keep finding out the "real" numbers.


Stocks, if they were to revel those numers that day it would of been horrid damage on their stocks.


Sony has a diverse enough line up of products the poor performance of the PS-Vita will have a fairly minimal impact on their overall stock price ...

I suspect the reason they didn't release the PS-Vita's numbers is because they're afraid of what impact that will have on the PS-Vita itself. There is a pretty nasty feedback loop for systems with poor sales performance, third party publishers don't want to support a system with a small userbase, customers don't want to support a system with few games, and both groups know how the other thinks, so when sales for a system are low fewer third party publishers support it and fewer gamers buy it; which results in the small game library which justifies consumers not buying it, and a small userbase which justifies third party publishers not supporting it.
