Because they probably think that you're one of those PS2/GameCube 'fanboys' who disses the XBox for no good reason other than that it's not their favourite console. That's not how I think of you, but that's certainly what the topic title implies.

I've heard that it is true; ironically, the worse XBox does, the better off Microsoft will be financially. However, although the Box will lose them money, they'll get it back through sales of games.
