Wand, Sphere, Gem. I like Gem best, and apparently, so does Electronic Arts CEO John Riccitiello, who may very well have leaked the top-secret name for Sony’s 2010 motion control device this morning at a conference in New York.

“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 when talking about console pricing and innovation at the UBS 37th Annual Global Media Conference.

Sony has since gone on the record to say that “no official name for the PlayStation motion controller has been announced,” with EA refusing to verify Riccitiello’s comment. I love leaks like this, they get the whole internet talking…

Way to ruin any worthwhile hilarious comeback I had planned. :/

 

[DietRob]

If you have more than one then people can assist you in waggling your family jewels.

 

[Jocchan]

Maybe the journalist misheard and it's actually called Jam.
It would be delicious.

 

[M.Bluth]

I'd rather they call it Geoff

 

[Stitch]

they should call it lump of coal

 

[Puck]

I'd personally call it John.

 

[Virro]

Probably just one of the internal code-names.

 

[Grooveraider]

Well that was a misfit

 

[Darkpen]

I really hope that's not true

 

[onken]

No analog stick, no buy!

Preferred Sphere but that's not saying much.

Spoiler

Should call it the 'motion ++' just to annoy Nintendo.

 

[Fewr]

Well that was a misfit

Haha, same thing I thought of.

 

[Slightly Live]

Dax will have a hard-on.

:lol

 

[Milk Lizard]

I will call it Jane Doe.

 

[Dr Bad Dude PHD]

Get your shit together sony that is terrible. That's right, the guy on the internet is telling you how to run your multi billion dollar international company better.

 

[[Nintex]]

And John's parade of fail continues.

I'm starting to feel sorry for him. On the other hand Gem is well... not really that good of a name I think. It doesn't really stick like Wii or Playstation.

 

[twinturbo2]

Aw, and I was rooting for it to be named the Disco Stick. Was Lady Gaga asking too much in royalties?

 

[methane47]

Well that was a misfit

came to post this..

 

[Ninja Moomin]

Would be surprised if it's either sphere or gem.

But i don;t hate either of them.

 

[MikeE21286]

Sony, this one feels like you guys are trying to hard.....we'll see though..

 

[D.Lo]

The classic.

 

[gofreak]

Gem seems like a weird little name.

What would you call it though?

'Sphere' seems a bit obvious. I dunno.

 

[i_am_ben]

i think Gem is an O.K. name. Its certainly not the worst thing they could have named it.

 

[DMeisterJ]

I think PS Motion would be great.

Equally as underwhelming as PS3z

 

[DieH@rd]

Gem sounds fine.

 

[Doc Evils]

I guess it is an easy to pronounce name for different languages.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Waggleshock 3 or bust!!

 

[Deleted member 30609]

I wanna take a ride on your disco gem.

Eh, not ideal.

1. Take the new PS3 slim logo.
2. Copy the number 3.
3. Flip the number 3 to create the letter E.
4. Rotate the number 3 ninety degrees counterclockwise to create the letter M.
5. Add a huge ass G at the beginning.
6. G E M

I love the fact that everyone (myself included) saw the title and rushed to post the obvious nerd connection to the 80's toon.

We just need that same youtube in the original post, upgraded with Miss Erica holding the "Gem" instead of a mic.

 

[rikitikitik]

Well that was a misfit

That's truly, truly, truly outrageous!

Goddamnit, in the first fucking post too.

 

[Sword Familiar]

I bet it comes with Bejeweled.

Spoiler

I've got nothing :/

 

[gkryhewy]

Glowing balls, goofy name, rumored high price tag -- it's like Sony secretly hates this product.

Although if the software is compelling, the name doesn't matter (see Wii).

 

[LevityNYC]

Well that was a misfit

Came to this thread to post this.

 

[squicken]

I can't believe how many people remember Jem. It's even in the IGN story ffs. Glad I'm not alone in my oldeness.

 

[NeoGIF]

Gem? They might as well call it Lipstick. :lol

 

[kaching]

That's right, the guy on the internet is telling you how to run your multi billion dollar international company better.

He's just not telling them what would be the right name...

Not that I know either.

 

[Sword Familiar]

I don't think that many truly remember Jem. It's just one of those show intros that pops up on youtube whenever people want their nostalgia fixes. Mask? Jayce and the Wheeled warriors? ...Jem(is truly outrageous)?

 

[WrikaWrek]

Just gemin my way through the game.

...

 

[Dead Prince]

bet you guys want to google the word "Gem" and "dildo" and see what you get =)

 

[Doubledex]

Exactly what I was thinking :lol :lol

Yeah they thought that from the beggining, it's pretty clear.

 

[plagiarize]

Just watch now as Microsoft announce the real name of Natal as 'Josie'

 

[Truant]

It was hidden veeeeery weeeeeell.

 

[Mr. Sam]

Nope, can't see myself playing with the Sony Gem.
