We're exceptionally likely to find out the official name of Sony's PlayStation motion controller in just a few hours during the company's GDC press event, but till then, we've got one more late-breaking morsel to chew on: Move. According to trademark divers across the web, Sony has filed a European trademark for "PlayStation Move," which certainly sounds like a plausible title for some sort of motion-sensing apparatus. To date, we've also heard "Arc" thrown around (which we tend to prefer, if we're being candid), and the logo shown here -- which is said to belong to a separate trademark application -- definitely looks more like an "A" than an "M." Keep it locked right here for more as we get it.
um...... for real? move?
@skyblaze
It sounds like Sony's comeback to that Just Dance game on the Wii...
@PlatinumSkeet First motion controller title will be " Move, bitch, get out the way."
@PlatinumSkeet
they're trying too hard to sound cool. just call it "Playstation Motion Controlloer. simple, cool, to the point, and.... oh, not completely ridiculous.
@skyblaze They would have to get the packaging from the same place that Newegg got it for those Intel CPUs though.
Sorry.
I think the name PS Arc will stick, this logo is clearly an "A", can no one else see this?
@rysle Darren Murph can see it
@rysle
Ummm, the article says, "definitely looks more like an "A" than an "M."
"Move" I like it. Gets the point accross. Hope this one pans out well. Sony is one of those companys that I want to see do well, but they kinda drop the ball on stuff.
@Kiteless Except 'Arc' is a better title.... It's original, at least.
@Jonathan K I agree that Ark has more of a ring to it, but it does not say anything to me... The consumer... Even the name of the console tells me what I am doing. It is a "Station" that I "Play" at.
How very creative. Dear god, this must've taken a long time to come up with.
@HikaKao They probably made a consultancy firm very happy though.
This day, everyone suit everyone.
Florals in Spring?
Groundbreaking.
I don't know, I guess I'm one of the few that like the name. Could be much, much worse. I can see it now, "playstation glowy orbs"

Umm.. Virgin logo?
@Jayenkai Spot on, obviously rotated.
Note to others, google imaging "Virgin" is definitely NSFW

Even with the safesearch settings on strict, you STILL get unsafe things:

More creative than PSMote
Looks more like an N to me, maybe it'll be the Playstation n00b.
'PlayStation Move'
To me this sounds a lot like what Natal is but I'm not sure they would want to do that.
