There are a lot of questions gamers have regarding Sony’s plans to enter the motion controller business. Will the controller have any buttons? Will we see support for more than casual games? Will it have an impact on hardcore gamers? And, will it be as popular as Natal or the Wii?
It seems the logical first question is what exactly do we call the PlayStation 3 motion controller? Sony has repeatedly referred to it as just that, the Motion Controller, but that doesn’t stop people from trying to get the jump on the official name.
According to VG247, the motion controller will be named “Arc.” The site has this information on ‘good authority,’ without giving details about the source. Last month we heard EA’s John Riccitiello refer to the controller as “Gem,” which was apparently an early code name for the product.
Unfortunately Sony stays mum on rumors, so we’ll have to continue and wait for an official announcement from the company regarding the controller’s name.
If you are anything like us, you are likely more interested in how the device will perform than what we’ll call it when it’s released before the end of the year.
