Natal will officially be called Wave.

Wave goodbye to me ever buying it.

What's wrong with just calling it Natal? Wave is so... So... Silly.

 

[OceanRunner]

Call it whatever you like. I'm still not buying it.

Marketing always has been one of microsofts biggest flaws. Once again it's confirmed they just haven't got the knack for it apple does.

 

[Brotherofwill]

Wave makes sense. While they're at it, they might have aswell called it Microsoft Flail. I like Move more, name-wise.

 

[thethingthatlurks]

Why does that name remind me of the 80s? Regardless, I've got better things to do with my time and money than acting like a chimp on crack in front of my TV. For example, I could buy a chimp and crack, and have a much more entertaining few hours...

 

[wooty]

Still not buying it, would of been more sensible just keeping the name Natal, why change it now when people already know full well what Natal is

Wave is silly, but Natal isn't silly?
Now that is silly. It took me a while to even figure out how to pronounce Natal!
Wave is something everyone, including the target demographic (The casual player) can say and understand.

I like it, personally.

 

[Sonicron]

Must... resist... smacking OP for bad pun... ... nnnggh.

Slap whatever name you want on that monstrosity, I'm not interested, Microsoft - especially now that you've officially announced that it will cater heavily to the casual gamer crowd.

Sad thing that next to fuck all likes the price tag. 150 dollars? No thanks.

 

[VulakAerr]

I think Wave is bad reporting. MS already have a technology called Wave and it's nothing to do with Natal. Until I hear this from MS, I'm gonna call BS on this.

Natal is the name of the province of which I live. I always thought that way kinda cool, my province sharing the name of a Mircosoft product.
Wave just sounds pretty generic.

I'm kind of glad they changed it because I always pronounced it wrong and now I won't look like an idiot when trying to say it. Still don't really want to buy it. I only will if a game I really want comes out that requires it (and I hope that doesn't happen... mostly for money reasons)

 

[8-Bit Grin]

Oh, dear Jesus.

Why can't they just let it fade into obscurity and save themselves some embarrassment?

Really? You don't really need an official announcement to figure that out, right?

Why does everyone think they need secret names 10 times worse than the code name? Revolution would have been better than the wii. It still would have been crap, but still.

 

[Jack and Calumon]

So we have the Playstation Move and the Xbox Wave.

Calumon: To mention the Nintendo Wii! ^^

Meh they can call it whatever they want, I'm still not buying it.
