PlayStation Move confirmed as PS3 Motion Controller name
Finally, after nearly ten months of waiting, Sony has announced a name for the PS3 Motion Controller in a GDC event tonight. And it is, as was rather blatantly leaked via a European trademark filing earlier today, PlayStation Move.
SCEA has just announced the name at a press conference in San Francisco, which is ongoing.
SCEA’s Peter Dille described the controller as “fast, precise and accurate,” saying the transition for players from Wii to Move is a “natural” one.
High levels of “precision” and “challenge” will keep the core happy, Dille promised.
Fighting, table tennis, golf games and more were shown in action. You can get a full breakdown on the games demoed here.
You can watch our liveblog here. There’s embedded video there for you as well.

Good name actually. If they can market it, then it will be great.

Not a good name at all imho but at least it’s better than “arc”. But then, that didn’t take much.

Seems like Move would be a better name for Natal as it uses whole body Movement

Indeed. Sony’s solution looks like more of a ‘Wave’. Or ‘Poke’.
