Sony struggles to name motion controller


You and I call it the wand controller, but what about the folks at Sony? Well, they're struggling, too many options I guess. Here's Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida:

"There are several candidates for the name of the controller. The SIXAXIS and the Dual Shock 3, while great product names a based on the actual tech, the name we pick for the wand controller might not be so techy," he said.

A name for the motion device has to be chosen carefully since Sony is trying to appeal to the casual gamer, and grab some of the market share from Nintendo. The names are making the rounds through various Sony departments as the Hardware giant seeks guidance and ideas internally.

I have an idea, how about the PSMii? You like? Oh, just hush, you jealous one you.
