PS3 Motion Controller Named?

The PlayStation 3 motion controller still needs a name. Sony has been quiet on all fronts about the title since its reveal at this past E3 show. But a conference held in New York City this morning with Electronic Arts CEO John Riccitiello might have spoiled Sony's surprise.

When talking about console pricing and innovation at the UBS 37th Annual Global Media Conference, Riccitiello briefly mentions the two upcoming motion controllers set for release in 2010.

"In the coming year, both Sony and Microsoft have announced new controllers. Motion sensor controls, Natal and Gem, these are likely to bring new consumers into the marketplace," he said.

Now, it's possible Riccitiello simply misspoke, so we're still wondering how legitimate this is. He may have also been referring to the glowing ball at the end of the remote, and not the entire controller itself. It may also be an acronym, G.E.M., or something along those lines.

Or maybe he was talking about the Jem and the Holograms television cartoon show from the mid 80's, but that would be too awesome.

When asked about Riccitiello's comment, Sony told IGN, "No official name for the PlayStation motion controller has been announced." Electronic Arts, meanwhile, said they were unable to confirm the accuracy of his remarks at this time.

What do you think? Does 'Gem' fit the bill?


Sounds meh to me... :huh:
