Get your hands off my SIXAXIS -- er, PS3 controller

Personally, the name Boomerang would have worked better if they kept the original model (even if it looked kind of odd, but it's still missed) than the rumored "SIXAXIS", or "S-AXIS" as we'll call it for short, for the final PS3 controller. Besides, S-AXIS floats off the tongue better, though not a palindrome. Someone checked the patent records for the term "sixaxis" and came up with a bunch of neon-colored Sony signs (not really). Sony representatives said they've not yet announced a name for their new controller, but this influx of information does point to SIXAXIS as a fine guess. What think you, avid readers? Does SIXAXIS work well for you?
