Maybe NPD owns the copyrights to the numbers, and only allow Sony/Microsoft to give out certain information?

Yes NPD owns the rights to the numbers. And MS and co. pay to get accesss to those numbers on the grounds that they can't share the information. But that's put in place so Sony doesnt go announcing to the world what MS numbers are if MS doesmt want the world to know. 

What I don't know tho is why don't Sony share PS numbers. It's their own numbers and they have the right to disclose that information if they want. I mean, as bad as nintendo was getting it they still shared their monthly numbers. So what gives?

They do announce numbers.... Just not every month. I actually can't imagine why Sony is rather inconsistent in how they make their announcements anyway. Because they don't seem to necessarily wait for solid, round figures like 10,20,30,40 million. It's kind of all over the place, like Kaz has a dartboard with dates on it and a blindfold or something.
