    In the console's case, Microsoft owns the brand, but Xbox is the brand -- Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox Live, Xbox Marketplace...

    It's different from the computer side of things, where Microsoft is the brand -- Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Office, Microsoft Exchange... where all the Microsoft-branded products are designed to work together.

    Microsoft is the brand of the 360, Xbox is just the name of the product.

    "Microsoft" is the manufacturer. "Xbox 360" is the name of the product. I'm not sure which one of those you refer to as "brand"... I guess it would be Microsoft.

    Microsoft doesn't include there name because they don't want to be affiliated with such junk.
