Rumor: Natal to be formally called 'Wave'

http://www.vg247.com/2010/05/27/rumour-natal-to-be-formally-called-wave/

I think Sony and Microsoft bumped to each other and their briefcases got switched.

LOL I think so too

Microsoft is even trying to out due Sony in awkward product names.

Now that is some system wars determination.:P

edit:Though the names switched would make more sense for both

Sure is cold in here...

I remember back when the Wii was called the Nintendo Revolution. When they announced the name-change, everyone was like:

We must force them to trade names at once :o

The problem is people actually thought it was a name change. Anyone that knows Nintendo should have known that revolution was never going to be the official name. And Microsoft certainly isn't going to keep "Project Natal" as the final name for this.

Like "Wave Good-Bye $150" Wave??

It must be a prerequisite that anything with motions controls have a stupid name.

Like "Wave Good-Bye $150" Wave??

Yes, there is a few threads on this.

It's definitely...ahem...inspired, if true.

M$ is different.

Remember, Project Xbox became Xbox.

Natal sounds better. Wish Sony stuck with "Arc." Sounded way cooler than... Move...aznfool07

They faced copyright problems with the name Arc. That's why they switched.

I thought it was going to be called THE MOVE

Sony should change the name of Move to Notal now.

So are you saying that you think the name is not going to change?

I doubt that it will stay the same. To call it Natal wouldn't make sense.

MS should name it "pew pew pew"

:P

I've never heard that code name for the original Xbox. But I know that it went through several: MARZ, VERV, TAC, DirectX-box.

The Xbox 360 was "Xenon", which eventually became the name of its CPU.

ill be waving good bye with a price of 150

[QUOTE="ianuilliam"]Project wroking names are always so much better than the final commercial name. Revolution > Wii. Arc > Move. And Project Natal > Wave (if that's what they end up calling it).

They can do whatever they want, I'm not wasting my Psychic prowess on a project I care nothing about, same for Move.

Wow, you missed Bill Gate's pulling down the curtain? Those were good times.

It was famous moment, and pretty hilarious.
