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

I have say i agree, I mean Wave sounds stupid but we are just used to it.

 

Natal sounds like a womens name, and what does "Natal" have to do with it? The name "Wave" makes sense, since we "Wave" in games.

 

 

nothing wrong with clearly marketing to its target audience.

 

"wave" just sounds.... average, At least "Natal" sounds different and unique, which is what it should be.

Natal is marketed towards women?  Never knew that :P

 

Wave makes sense though, You move your hand to play the games.

Natal is as much sounding like 'a womens name' as it is targeted toward women. Let's leave it like that.

Oh i see what you did there :P

Am I the only person who reckons Wave is a better name than Natal?

Since when did a City name sound cool?

The funny thing is that the city is famous for its sand "waves" you can skate/surf

 

 

Great city to visit!

 

 

That looks awesome!!!

Wave cause move is already taken.

i really think they should switch the names, the "ps move" symbol kinda resembles a wave, and wasn't that name even rumored for it at some point? another reason would be that i like wave better.

"Wave" sounds very similar to move and since Sony revealed their name first almost looks like Microsoft copied them.

You all just got trolled. This sounds like a rumour spread by a 5 year old, and then picked up by VG247 to get hits and reposted by the OP to get VG$

W=M
a=o
v=v
e=e

Move the hell on and wait for E3 to hear the real name

Wave... Move... pretty similar to me. I'm surprised they didn't go for something a little more punchy.

Natal was oddly catching. Wave seems obvious and doesn't make it sound any different from Wii or Move for me.

I doubt I'm their target demographic, though, so what do I know?



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

amazingly bad "move"

can believe they are KILLING their (over?)hyped brand

it is just painfully stupid ! what a stupid "move" !

I hope, for them, it is false



Time to Work !
