Pretty stupid to change the name now in that advanced development stadium.
Everybody knows this as Natal (which I think is also the waaay better name), so why change it ?

Want it to be called this, solely so we can all call it MicroWave like Rainbird said.

Honestly Wave stinks as a name. So anonymous and extremely generic just like Move, although "Move" is clearly better than "Wave". Natal was a great name, and it would have worked among the casuals too.

I hope it's just a rumour.

Odd that they would use Wave since they already use it for something:

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.
