We recently heard rumors that Sony’s new motion controller was named “Arc.” As it turns out, THQ’s CEO Brian Farrell referred to the controller as “PlayStation Arc” during the company’s investor call today.
"We are focused on our continued leadership in [casual games], taking advantage of the lower hardware price points that we expect will attract new mass market gamers, and new family-friendly platforms such as Microsoft’s Natal and the PlayStation Arc motion controller," he stated.
He continued to call the controller “Arc” during the call, both in his prepared statements and follow-up Q&A.
Sony hasn’t officially named its controller. In its latest announcement, stating the device is scheduled for a fall release, the company referred to it as the PlayStation Motion Controller. We are speaking with Sony this week about its motion controller plans, and how it will impact gamers, later this week. Stay tuned.
