Wave is an infinitely better name than Natal guys. Don't kid yourselves. We're all just used to the code-name.

I agree completely.

The word 'wave' is associated with motion, fun on the beach, and friendly greetings.

The word 'natal' is associated with a fetus slowly gestating in a womb, or a variety of geographical locations.

How anybody could think that giving birth would sell more videogames than surfing is beyond me.

And "natal" is also another term for talking about your butt.
