Exactly. Sidekick was thrown into the trash before the customers even knew it, and Kin was pitched into the dumpster before the launch party was even over.

The only non-Microsoft brand to come out of Microsoft is, curiously, the XBox.

Isn't it the "microsoft xbox"? I mean, everyone knows it's microsoft's (and it's printed on the game boxes)... No?

Huh? Sidekick was a well established preexisting brand.

Yes, and they threw it out. It's Microsoft or the highway.
