Why didn't my parent's get me anything for my birthday?

My mom and dad both said Happy Birthday to me on my birthday yesterday, but none of them got me ANYTHING at all and they havent mentioned it at all and are just acting like nothing happened. I have been asking for an xbox and/or tv for ages now and I'm actually shocked. Do you think they have a surprise or are they genuinely not gonna get me anything. Btw they didnt even get me a card either

Update:

Btw no I'm not spoilt whatsoever, I have never asked for anything anywhere as near as big as a console/tv since i was bout 8 honestly. Also my brother is at uni and they send him money every month and dont even make him get a job. Also COME ON! Seriously they didnt even get me a card!

    I'm really sorry :( My birthday is saturday and I'd be upset if my mom didn't even give me a card or such. I'm sure I'll get yelled at by my stupid brother thought~ thats a gift!

    They may not get you anything, or they are saving it for a surprise party possibly. Just ask them straightup, why they didn't get you a card or anything for your birthday. Happy one day late birthday though! :) 1 year older huh? :) Gives virtual cookie. I'd give you something way better if I actually knew you! :)

    It's quite likely that they will give you a surprise present as they haven't gotten you a card, but its important not to be too disappointed if they don't. If they don't then maybe you should talk to them, it's quite unlikely that parents don't get their children presents but they may be in a tough economical crisis? HAPPY BIRTHDAY FOR YESTERDAY:)x

    Well maybe its because they probably dont have any money right now to get you a present especially how the economy is right now So dont feel bad.

    you parents dont have to get you anything...they already gave you life...i'm sorry but just asking this question sounds a little spoiled. They may be having budget problems and just don't know how to tell you yet...but hang in there :) they still may be planning something.
