Because you don't have any. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof and knowing the demographics of a consumer product like the X360 is an extraordinary claim. Tell me, coonana... in your deliberations about the X360 userbase, did you consider the age distribution? the education distribution? the ethnic bias? income level? Tell us, coonana.. what do you know about the X360 demographic. It should be easy for you, isn't it so general and obvious?

Final Fantasy XIII, announced as ps3 exclusive, no longer? Assassins Creed, announced as ps3 exclusive, no longer? The barrage of announcements for the ps3 in 2005 and 2006 that never happened? It's not "some people" who said the 360 and the Wii were the underdogs, it was the very people that decide what games become a reality and which games don't. Publishers, developers... people who's own decisions are tied to the future of the products they create - they bet on the ps3. 

Until, of course... 599 US Dollars.

 

Again, DO YOU DISAGREE WITH ME ON ITS DEMOGRAPHIC? If you dont I dont feel like finding the necessary evidence. If it was something pivitol to the discussion I would understand your complaint, but seeing as you are simply doing this to divert unanswered points i have brought up I will not.

 

What do you mean they never happened? Part of the reaason Sony fell was because MS got these to at the very least be multiplatform or even exclusive alot of these deals went down before, during, and after launch. They obviously did not bet on the PS3 because most of these games went to 360...with better framerates. Look alot of reasons attributed to Sony losing console king (MS major effort to penetrate the market with its NON underdog tendencies, Sony making a crapload of mistakes, 599 price tag and so on) not one of them gives us reason to think that it was 360 as an underdog, but as a major entity that is hard to compete with.

 

Again you still dont even acknowledge half the things I say and have not said one thing that I cannot refute completely about the 360 being an underdog.

 

You come here talking big, claiming to know the 360 demographic, attempting to pass opinion as facts and you get all pissy about it? Retract your statements about the 360 demographic because it is obvious you have no knowledge of it. That's been proven by your refusal to even talk about it.

Yep, these games went to the 360... AFTER THE RACE STARTED! Which means, before the race started, that the 360 was not expected to win. Hence why both the 360 and the Wii are the underdogs of this generation.

See, you do not understand yet that underdog refers to the expected outcome of something before it begins. Whatever arguments you bring are past that point. You have yet to grasp the concept of underdog.

And we are still walking about your enlightened discourse about something plain, and obvious... the 360 demographics. We still are waiting for you to tell us all the facts about it that led you to make a statement about it. It's been god knows how many posts and you still haven't done anything besides attempting to stonewall and sidestep this single issue about your discourse.

This is not gamefaqs, we won't let people like you make blanket statements without backing them. Something at which you have been failing the whole thread.
