Rumor: PlayStation Motion Controller to be renamed 'Arc'

According to an anonymous source speaking to VG247, the PlayStation Motion Controller will officially be called "Arc" by the time it launches. It was previously codenamed "Gem," with rumors also dubbing it "Sphere" at one stage. As expected, Sony declined to comment on the story.

You know what, Sony? Stop it. You may think you're building suspense here, but all you're doing is creating a lot of work for bloggers who'll have to go back and re-tag all these posts when you reveal the real name. Oh, don't you skulk away, Microsoft, we're including you on this too. If it's Natal, fine, if not, just pick something already. Both of you. Now. Choose.

Go ahead.

We'll wait.

Hello?

The vague Spring '10 date means even less when you consider how well the Spring '05 date went for the release of the PS3. That was more than a year delay.

They should just rename it "lame"

Seriously though, I'm not trying to bash it...but why does every console need to keep progressing in Motion technology? If I wanted stuff like this, I would have bought a Wii.

Call me old-school, but I like using buttons.
