Well, we really did not require this amount to tell us the humiliation behind Microsoft’s Kin which met a dead end just a couple of weeks back. However, we have it and according to Jay Yarrow and Daring Fireball only 503 units of the Microsoft Kin were sold.
However, these details are not yet confirmed but an unnamed source from Microsoft seems to be very sure about it. The source also added;
“We had a huge launch party on campus and I bet that party cost more than the amount of revenues we took in on the product. As an employee, I am embarrassed. As a shareholder, I am pissed. It’s one thing to incubate products and bring them to a proof-of-concept to see what works, but it’s something else to launch. I suspect we launched because we felt like we HAD to so we could save face because we were trying to build buzz, but overall — HUGE fail.”
