Sony's Sub Motion Controller Named

A few weeks ago Sony announced that their surprisingly familiar looking motion controller would be called "Move". If I'm honest, that's not brilliant, but it's hardly the gaming equivalent of the iSnack 2.0 (the king of failed names).

However, at the time we didn't really know what to call the nunchuck other bit, and so it became known as the highly original "sub-controller". Sony have now decided to change all that and unveiled it as the equally lackluster "Navigation Controller".

It's all very exciting stuff, you see.

Navigation controller is kind of lame. I like sub-controller. It's much more fun to shout. (In deep voice) "Where is my SUB-CONTROLLER!"
As for 'Move', I can't really think of anything better that isn't totally cheesy.

Who gives a ****? Why is this article so judgemental - its not news, its an opinion. Thats what comments are for. And since when was "Nunchuck" or "Remote" original?

whatever name they were going to give, you know it was going to be criticized.
It's a plain, straight forward name that actually explains what it is, it does not need to upstage the main event (that being the move)... its not like you need to give a fancy name to the PS3 remote control right or am I missing something here.

It's simple really. you have the move controller (which is in my opinion a better name than arc... Someone is certainly going to arc up about that - see what i did there? lame) and the attached device that helps with navigation. Im happy with it. Just bring me some good games that actually work better than nintendo wii. some jedi action please?

Because now it just sounds like a technical piece of crap.
I'd be okay if they change it to the PlayStation Stick.

It doesn't really matter what Sony decide to call it, Everyone will just refer to it as a Nunchuck anyway. And no normal person is going to call the glowing stick thingo the "Move" either, it will just acquire some other user generated name (like Wiimote which is officially called the Wii Remote)

"Navigation Controller" eh?

No use arguing about the name if it's been given but we could always give it a nickname. NavCon would be the obvious one.
