Ugh. I hope that's not the real name. It's like giving the PS3 an order! Playstation, MOVE! Bad PS3, I told you to move! BAD! | |
Eh, i sorta like the symbol, it's simple, even if it was probably more intended for something begining with A... Also, anybody else think that somewhere down the road there's going to be some issues, mainly since 'Move' sounds an awful like 'Mote'? | |
Thank god the name of the thing tells us what to do, without it I might not have realised a motion controller wanted me to move. Its a good name its just too generic when we could have had Arc. | |
Playstation Move? Not as simple and catchy as Arc or Gem. | |
The Playstation Move? That's not intruiging at all, it sounds like some dull game meant to use the Playstation eye for some generic Minigames. Keep trying Sony, keep trying. | |
You see? Because it's on the Playsation and you move. What was done in that area was seen by me. | |
I prefer Move to Gem, Arc was quite good though. It seems to me that it is meant to appeal to the house wives and children with "Move" rather than have something with a bit more of a ring to it. Also I do like the logo a lot. | |
inb4 Playstation move over. (I seriously hope nobody uses that joke. >.<) | |
PlayStation Move? That's just as bad as the 2012 Olympics logo, terrible... | |
Onyx used the joke. >.> hes first post. | |
I hereby nominate a new name: The PlayStation Shove. No? | |
How about the Playstation Television-Breaker? | |
The symbol... looks... very.... erect to me. Lame name... lame symbol. Try again Sony marketing department. Call Activision up, they probably have some visc.... SLEDGHAMMER ideas! | |
This sucks. I liked Arc better, plus it would look like it had more in common with the logo -_- Bad Sony, you do not do that again. -hits with a newspaper made of steel- | |
That is an incredibly lame name. It's too common a word, and doesn't catch my attention. Keep trying Sony, I'm sure you're paying people well for this. I haven't seen any videos for the controls since E3, but I was not impressed then. I thought it looked like the Wii controls except (more) awkward. I expected better from Sony. I don't own a PS3, but I respect the system. Sony's fans deserve more than Wiimote 2.0 | |
I can see the tag lines now: "What moves you?" "PS3 it only does motion" "Welcome to the MOVEment" I'm sure this will head towards more awesome Kevin Butler ads, which is always a win. | |
Yes! Shove...right out the 20th floor window. | |
And perhaps a new console aimed at the casual gamer, the Playstation Nudge? It's just so awkward to say. "What's that?" Either they were spurred on by Microsoft and Natal and felt the need for their own crazy motion controller, or they've completely forgotten about a certain 'axis' laden controller from years past. | |
Move is.. rather meh. Out of the names we've seen, I think Arc was probably the best. Anything's better than Wand though, even if the possibilities for humour with that one are endless. | |
Wait...I'VE GOT IT! They should name the new controller....Kevin Butler. Then we would love it. | |
Not as good as Arc...but, I suppose describes what it is out there to do! lol Ah well...they got caught out on that name lol | |
Move sounds rather... stupid. Keep the logo, call it the "Playstation N" Much more catchy. | |
Playstationin', you say? | |
Judging by the symbol they should've called it the PlayStation Just Do It. | |
I thought this looked like the Wiimote done right until I realized the Wiimote does the same stuff, so maybe rearrange the buttons and have the nunchuk-type second part also be wireless and have the delay be comparable to a standard controller and Sony may break through and rest on top again. Somehow I doubt it though, they just feel sort of... doomed for this console generation. | |
As long as they don't advertise using that crappy song from Madagascar, "I like to move it, move it", I think this is a perfectly fine name. | |
"I like to move it move it..." | |
Wow..................that's some logo alright..................Isn't it, kids? Maybe they should call it, Playstation Where The Sun Don't Shine. | |
Move, so I wonder if you can play playstation Home with it. Because then you could Move Home... Sorry I'll stop Also not a fan of this name, but then again Wii can be interpreted as slang for urination so the name doesn't really amount to much | |
Again, I vote to name it the PS3mote. At least then people will know what it does!
OH GOD NO DON'T EVEN SAY THAT! Sony PR representatives are browsing the forums as we speak to come up with the marketing campaign. | |
I do actually like the logo, though, I must admit. | |
Don't worry they'll just throw Kevin Butler in there and it will automatically become awesome even if it isn't. And when anything uses that song...it isn't. | |
Hits it with news paper! Did you see what you did, your a bad PS3 off the furniture. OT: Come on I can think of a better name than that. The playstation Groove... Awwwwwhh Yeah! | |
I'm officially calling it: The PlayStation HandToy. | |

Sony Registers "PlayStation Move" for Motion Controller?
The PlayStation Arc/Wand/Gem/Whatever may finally have an actual name - and a logo.
As of last week, all signs were pointing to the official name of Sony's motion controller being "PlayStation Arc" - but a wrench was thrown into the works by an existing Microsoft trademark.
Now, after undoubtedly-frantic scrambling to think of a new name in Sony's boardrooms, we may have a new name for the Sony motion wand: PlayStation Move. The name was registered yesterday in Europe, along with the image you see here to the right. Frankly, I don't really see how this would be a "M" for Move at all ("A" for Arc, yes), but maybe it's not supposed to be a letter at all?
It's not quite as interesting or as futuristic-sounding a name as "Arc" was - thought at least it's not the development title - but I suppose that with the device scheduled to debut today at GDC, Sony had to move very quick to come up with a new one.
"PlayStation Move," eh? Will it catch the public's proverbial eye?
