just how bad do sales have to be to kill a project mere weeks into its retail launch?

Microsoft's Kin phone was announced in April. It launched in May. And it died in June.
Besides the dizzying pace at which this product was dropped, I was surprised because there have been a lot of ads for this product on TV lately. Microsoft has got some serious problems to work out. They must have wasted a small fortune on product development on that thing. Microsoft used to be the 800-pound gorilla, but now they resemble the 98-pound weakling.
