Sony quickly said no official name has yet been revealed, and now at least confirms it isn’t ‘Gem’. Not saying ”final name at this point.”
‘Gem’ was ”an early code name for the product,” confirmed SCEA’s Patrick Seybold, reports Kotaku. ”We haven’t announced final name at this point.” What name would you like to give Sony’s motion tech controller, which so looks like a wand?
Project Natal, the official code name for Microsoft’s pad free motion tech, is due out in fall 2010. The PlayStation 3’s motion ‘platform’ is expected much earlier in spring.
