Heh, at the end of the day it doesn't matter if it is "Teh Conspiracy!!1!1" or not. Numbers being hidden (when it is openly disclosed in other industries) benefits no one, not even the people trying to hide the data. What really matters is what you like or not, and I think Sony is garbage so meh.

You looking too far at the reasons why numbers are not openly shared. If there’s one thing businesses have realized in the last decade is that data are worth a lot of money. Sales numbers being hidden by NPD or Media Create is nothing unexpected today since they believe they can turn a profit by selling their services. There’s nothing more than that.

Hiding sales numbers is exclusive to the gaming industry. Why? EDIT. The Automobile industry is far bigger than the gaming industry and yet sales numbers of cars are open to the public. Gaming is such a joke.
