PlayStation Nunchuck Named; Detailed

03/10/2010 Written by Sebastian Moss

At this year’s GDC Scott Rohde has confirmed that there will be a nunchuck like device for the PlayStation 3. The device has been a rumor since the PlayStation Move was first demoed at last year’s E3, with several developers confirming the peripheral.

Sony’s Vice President of Product Development, SCEA for PlayStation announced that the controller will be called the “PlayStation Move Subcontroller”. The controller will provide the much needed extra analogue, without gamers having to use the DualShock 3.

Stay tuned to PSLS for full coverage of GDC.

this makes sense…I kind of liked Arc better than move though, they should keep the “Move” name for the tracking ball controller and use Arc instead of “Playstation Move Subcontroller”

Sony couldn’t use Arc because Microsoft already owns that name…it is a very accurate mouse made for PC. Look it up.

Sorry, I was under the impression that people could detect the sarcasm without a handy /sarcasm closer. Apparently I was wrong. Don’t worry though, one day you will be able to figure it out without someone specifically telling you
