PlayStation Move = Arc?

You must have seen them by now, the PlayStation Arc controllers that look like a cross between a Wiimote and a sex toy. The EyeToy mandatory motion sensing peripherals are probably going to be a big topic for the Sony presentation at GDC tonight when the company is set to stream their keynote over Ustream.

Well, there’s been a trademark filing recently in the EU for what Sony is calling “PlayStation Move”. I sincerely hope that they don’t name it that. We do know that game systems/peripherals/titles are fair game for industry consultants who have nothing better to do than tone things down.

We just think that Sony should display some more balls when it comes to naming their products. We all enjoyed the codename you had for the hardware. Arc is infinitely more interesting than PS Move.

This is all speculation, the Move moniker could only be a game title that would use the motion controller, much like in the way that Nintendo did with Wii Play or Wii Sports.

I sit upon my throne as the owner/shogun of this site, WatchPlayRead. But it wasn't always so. I too have had blogspots, I've done other community blogs, I've even written professionally for other sites out there...yet none of them provided the content I had a real passion for. It is then that I became tired of being a small cog in a big machine, and of writing about nothing but game news after game news article and the periphery that comes from such schlock, like knowing who Michael Pachter and Bobby Kotick are. I decided to start MediaWhoreNetwork.com and ran up my post count there for about 2 years, commenting about any and everything that I wanted to. I even started a weekly podcast that I feel has come into its own. It wasn't until earlier this year that I realized that having the word "whore" in your URL might be a bit limiting to my potential audience. I then made the website and its branding move over to WatchPlayRead.com.
