THQ CEO Backs Up Sony Motion Controller's Rumored Name
There have been a lot of whisperings lately that the upcoming Playstation 3 motion controller may be named "Arc." Add another piece of evidence to the pile, as THQ CEO Brian Farrell constantly referenced the yet-unnamed motion controller in an investor call yesterday.
Joystiq reports that during the investor call, Farrell talked about how the publisher will take advantage of new "family-friendly platforms" including Microsoft's Natal and Sony's motion controller, which he referred to as "the PlayStation Arc motion controller." Throughout the rest of the call, Farrell continued referring to the device as Arc multiple times.
Of course, this isn't an official statement from Sony, so we've still got to take it with a grain of salt. That said, evidence continues to build that Arc is the title Sony is going with. Do you like that name or do you have a better idea for what Sony could name it?
