This is what I saw in this thread:

"OMG Gem what a lame name, how on earth could Sony pick such a shitty name for the wand?"

This is what I remembered:

"LOL what kind of name is Wii?"

Initially people went WTF when Revolution became Wii.

No self-respecting reputable teenager will buy a gaming accessory called Gem.

Here's a bet that they change the name before launch.

Kinda like what happened to Wii... I know... Its sad

Precisely. The self-respecting reputable teenager demographic probably has more PS3s than Wiis.

If "Wii" could catch on, I think this has a chance.

Who says this is aimed at them?

We dont know the SW lineup it will have at launch... So we cant rightly say who it is aimed at... The teens or the casuals.

At least it's just Gem, it's not like Microsoft with Natal.

"Oooo hey guys, let's totally change the pronunciation of a word that relates to birth, that way it'll sound exotic and therefore way better!"

I hate how it's pronounced Nah-tahl.
