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.

In simply words. Circle of doom.
