"Discuss Microsoft's sophmore console and its games. "

"Discuss Microsofts' sophmore console and its games. "

Which would be the correct way of saying this sectence? Just the ' part is changed.

"Discuss Microsofts' sophmore console and its games. " ... would be the correct way, because the company's name is Microsoft, and the 's mean that something is belonging or refering to that word. Now if the word endend in 's', for example donkeys, then the phrase would be Donkeys' sophomore console... though that sounds weird.

Let's say if the possesser's name or assigned word is a singular [one person or item] word, then the apostrophe ['] goes before the S, if the possesser's name or assigned word is a plural [more than one] word, the apostrophe goes after the S

We all know that you are the sarcastic one from your recent "AJ" thread The One. It is 's. This is actually kind of a silly thread, ask your mom about it or something.
