Sony: "Gem" is just an early code name

Not Gem

 

EA CEO John "pirates are a market" Riccitiello recently let slip what supposedly was the name of Sony's motion controller. "Gem," Riccitiello called it. Sony has quickly sent out a rep to clarify a few things.

 

Speaking to Kotaku, SCEA's Patrick Seybold revealed that "Gem" is just "an early code name for the product" and isn't necessarily the controller's final name. "We haven't announced final name at this point," said Seybold.

 

I'm actually thankful for that. The "Gem" name just kept making me want to sing the Jem and the Holograms theme song. Still, it's not a flat-out denial, so we could still end up waving "Gem" controllers late next year.

Gem's too outrageous. Truly outrageous.

I think I like Sphere better too.

I'm still partial to PlayMotion. Hey Glenn, does your middle name by any chance start with E? You could also be GEM! haha

sphere rod....or maybe gem stick ? Honestly I think both names are gimicky, and it's not a sphere or a gem (just has them as an element). What wrong with PS3 Motion Controller ? or PS3 Wand (is the Wii's controller called a wand already?)

I just hope they don't limit it to the "wand", because it could do essentially the same thing as natal if you attached "gems" (balls) to your hands/feet, head and joints....

So what, the name is the name. I don't care about that. Still, for the topic, I'd say "Wand" isntead of gem, but like I said, it's the features that're cool, not the name, lol.

Nice job on the ball at the tip though. It pretty much prevents any gun attachments from working. When I'm shooting Nazis I'm sure I'll enjoy an impeded sight due to a big PINK orb for them to hid behind. I'll stick with my Wii for now.
