Calories burned accuracy

Why does my fitbit display 65 less calories than my cross trainer.

Cant really say, do both have your gender, weight, age, etc correct? Does the cross trainer read your heart rate? 

How many calories does your cross trainer report? What percentage is the difference?

Is your cross trainer one of the many devices known to add "feel good" calories?

Is it 65 calories out of 100, or out of 1000 on the cross triner?

Please also be aware that every device uses their own logic to calculate calories therefore it is doubtful that 2 units will agree.
