I thought it was being called Natal?
Huh.
I wasn't going to buy it regardless of its name, so whatever.

Not genius as such, but it works a lot better than wave does.danpascooch said:
Ipad, while the butt of many jokes, still doesn't dissuade people from buying the product. and the ipad is also just one example of a product named badly. They had to name it something to fit in with their I branding.
Wave already is the name of many products, some of which are rather popular. And is generally just boring and annoying.
Note that I rather dislike apple products, in fact I have never owned anything from apple. But their marketing is a hell of a lot better than microsofts. (See any windows ads ever).
I'll still call it Natal just to blow MS minds.
Wave sounds a bit weak for a title, but they are selling it to familes and casual gamers so no need for a cool italian name like Scaglietti or Panamera.

I'm just not into this sudden wave of motion control shit, at all. I'll hold my judgments until/if I try Wave or Move out, but I doubt that'll happen.OceanRunner said:
You mean, adding the letter "i" before the name of the device? This isn't a troll exactly, but we have the iMac (the cheaper end of the desktop market), the iPod (which is so ubiquitous as to be the name given to all MP3 players), the iPhone (apple's phone) and the iPad (being the new tablet). Sure, their TV spots are entertaining but for the flagship products microsoft pushes, there hasn't been an explicit need to actually market - they already have all the mindshare they need with windows, the PC in general, the 360, Office and so forth.Arcticflame said:
There never has been a game that has convinced me the technology is something I actually want to use. In every game I've played on the Wii, if there was a way around the motion controls, I was perfectly willing to take it. I don't expect Microsoft or Sony's effort will change my mind since we will likely see nothing more than a retread of the wildy successful (yet utterly uninteresting to me) ideas Nintendo has already tried, at least for the the first year or so. It's possible someone will do something really cool with the technology but I'm not even convinced that something will be a game.zombiesinc said:

Wave as in, Wave goodbye to:
A) Credibility
B) An original name [what is wrong with Natal?]
C) $150 [or was it 149 still?]

The Microsoft Wave will ride in on a metaphorical wave of marketing hype, and a literal wave of shovelware.
What I'm intrigued by, is that if Natal and Wave were the cream of the naming crop, what were the rejects?
If they called it the Flail, I would consider getting it.Brotherofwill said:
The 'Wave'....eugghhhh. 'Natal' was much better, just like 'Revolution' was better than 'Wii'.
Add a $150 price tag as well? I'm betting it goes the way of the PS3...except it'll STILL be an overpriced, barely-bought POS 2 years after its release.
I dislike apple products, I've never once purchased one. But that said as stupid as adding the 'i' in front of product names is, it's made it a very catchy brand. It's made it be perceived as hip and high tech. Apple is only doing as well as they are now because of their marketing.Eclectic Dreck said:
Your entire post means nothing to my point, apple is better than microsoft is marketing. I don't care for what reason that may be, it doesn't change the fact microsoft is terribad at marketing.
