    I refuse to call it the playstation Move, I'm still going to call it the revolution... Wait, no. I mean Wii motion plus. 

    NO! Sony motion controller. It's a much better name.

    They're trying to be even more like the Wii by having a better, rumored name before announcing a crappy one.

    They technically never had a name, so they didn't 'change' it. 
    Sony motion controller was just a go-to name they used before they had a real name.

    The name isn't that bad. It won't win any awards though.

    It sounds fine to me.  "Move" says a lot about the controller.

    Exactly. Its not super amazing but at lesst its descriptive without being boring like Sony Motion Controller would be. Sure beats "Wand".

    I don't mind "Move", but sub-controller is amazing. Did they just want to get out of work early the day they decided that?

    You know that is interesting that they would just call it that. Maybe they gave up cause the only name they liked was a nunchuck.

    everyone freaking over this name are insane for thinking that "Playstation Arc" or "Sony Motion Controller" were any better names. People now a days just want to shit on everything.  Playstation Move is a great name, better then "wii" or "wii remote", and most definitely better than "Natal". At least  "Move" says something about the product.

    It could have been the Sony Motion. That would make it sound like something the PS3 shat on the carpet.

    I'm pretty sure "Natal" is just a place-holder name, hence it being called "Project Natal".  This summer I am certain Microsoft will redub it something much more inane.  
     
    For the record, I preferred "Arc" over "Move" but what can you do?   I'm guessing "Arc" didn't test well against seniors and soccer moms from Poughkeepsie .

    Wait, what was it called before? 
    "Arc" wasn't the official name, that was again just a dumb rumor.. 
    So they changed the name from what, exactly?

    Natal means "of relating to birth".  If you remember last year they went on about how it would be the birth of a completely new type of console.  Almost exactly the same speech Sony gave last night.
    Regardless, it's a code name and probably won't be called Natal when it releases.
     
    I don't mind the name Move though, I think it gets the point across without sounding silly.  Like the "Wii".
    A lot of people have been saying it should have been called Arc.. which is a 'cool' sounding name, but has no meaning relating to the product, it would have been a disaster.

    "Play Station" was a stupid sounding name back in the mid 90's too.

    Playstation Move sounds like they couldn't decide until the last possible minute and that was the one they said last right before they went out on stage?
     
    "Ok, guys what are going with? Playstation Motion Controller isn't going to cut it!"
    "I don't know! Uh...uh...how about Move? Playstation Move?"
    "Ok, fuck it! Move it is! I gotta go present now!"

    Was the "arc" really that cool?  I think it was a really lame name.  At least "move" speaks to their target audience.

    I never understood arc. Nothing about it was curved, or arc shaped in any way, it had nothing to do with anything. It made no sense. Move makes sense, but I still don't quite like it.

    I think it had to do with the Move logo itself. I can't think of a better word than "arc" to describe it.
