      NowGamer is running a rumor saying that the official name of Project Natal will be Xbox Wave.
    I personally liked more if it stayed Natal.
    What do you guys think?

    Wave is a good name actually. Natal sounded like the name of a creepy biological experiment.

    This truly must be the age of motion controls that have a 2 word name. Playstation Move, Xbox Wave.....

    I hope they make every "Wave" game include "Wave" in the name.

    While not confirmed, Wave is as good a choice as any. We're used to Natal because if you're on Giant Bomb, you're a gaming enthusiast and have probably have known about it since last year's E3 and its just become natural. But to the target audience, basically the folks who gobbled up Wiis a few years back, Natal means nothing. Plus, it always makes me think of pregnancy - like as in pre-natal, neo-natal, etc... 
     
    Wave conveys a lot of things, both in terms of how you actually interact with the device and what they want the consumer to associate it with.

    For me it's not the future as much as it is a sidestep.

    Fuzion Frenzy Wave
     
    Bloodwave
     
    And Sonic Waverunners
     
    See, you thought it couldn't get worse and then I did that....its a little more mainstream friendly than Natal was if its true. I can just picture CNN doing a special report about the newest "family friendly game playing system thing" called THE WAVE....
     
    When we finally get a real name for this thing, hopefully we will have good games to talk about with it.

    I wouldn't say Wave is good, but it feels more appropriate for what the product is for sure. And you are dead right about Natal.

    Actually, I kinda like "Natal" more now that I've started thinking about it that way.

    Meh. It's not a memorable name if that's the case. They just gotta convince me that it's more than a quick cash-in on the Wii success.
