It's not like there's anything to hide, though. With Wii, it was clear that you're not in the same ballpark as the competition (with Wii U, it's less clear, but only because the GPU is modern enough to run most of the same instructions, just not with anywhere near the same brute force, whereas Wii's GPU was dated in every sense of the term for its time). With Wii U it's still clear they're running well behind the competition, so there's no reason to be embarrassed about something that you're not trying to hide in the first place. It would be like someone who's obviously poor refusing to disclose their income to two rich friends, unlike someone who's trying to keep up the appearances of being rich but who was actually poor.
Embarrasment cannot be the reason, so what is it?

i don't know if you read the tech thread on neogaf and beyond 3d but the most likely scenerio right now based on what we know is the gpu is a very effeciante 160sp gpu, so of course they would be embarrassed, thats why they have very strict NDA incase anybody reveals the specs.

But what's the gain from hiding this? Developers have to know, even if they can't talk about it, and they're the ones who are more likely to be concerned by technical shortcomings. Most gamers don't know what the hell any of this means, and many know less than they claim, as these endless threads about it demonstrate (not trying to take a pot shot at anyone with that statement, btw, we're all guilty of it to some extent), so what is there to be "embarrassed" about that you'd go to the time and effort to keep the public in the dark?
