It's simply dubbed the Wand Controller. For the time being, that is.
"There are several candidates for the name of the controller," said Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios head Shuhei Yoshida. While still undecided, those names are making their way through Sony, being run up the flagpole and getting feedback from various internal departments.
"The SIXAXIS and the DualShock 3 - while great product names - are based on the actual tech," Yoshida explained. "The name we pick for the Wand Controller maybe won't be so techy."

GXC: "When Sony revealed their motion controller for the PS3 back at E3 2009, there was one [possible] game on a lot of people’s mind: Star Wars. The new controller was seemingly a perfect fit for bringing the legendary action of lightsabers into the living room. Three years later however, there is still nothing to be seen on that frontier. So [the] question is: Where is Star Wars PlayStation Move? "
Probably not - but if they truly tried, they could make a good one. There's no reason they couldn't other than trying to cut costs and make it a quick cash grab.
After see the crap that was Star Wars Kinect.....you really want to see it on Move? Don't get me wrong, actually holding a lightsaber could be rather cool with Move, but if its made by a similar studio I expect nothing of quality.
4am, the newest game from Pixeljunk is the perfect combination of music creation and motion gaming. We sat down with Lead Designer, Rowan Parker to get all the details.
Sony's rebranding is very good as of late.
They're losing the technical and clinical nature and going for a more relaxed approach.
On top of this they're still developing some top quality title.
I do hope this motion controller gets some support, but I really want to see footage of more games using it
instead of worrying about a name right now, why not worry on what you are going to do with a motion controller without an analog stick? cause that DS/Motion controller combo that was shown during that RE demo put me into a state of shock. and By that, it was a "WTF is Wrong with you Sony" type of way...
Wacky Waving Arm Flailing Tube of Death. yep. thats my bet.
I put money on... Wii All Need Direction or simply put The WAND.
