One intrepid poster at the popular Internet message board 4chan claims to have overheard Richard Marks, creator of much of the Move technology, at a Sony event in New York City today say that the "higher-ups" at Sony aren't happy with the name "sub-controller." The name being purportedly being tossed around by Sony is "Navigator."
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
If this is what the 'hardcore gamers' are gonna use with Move then it should probably have 'extreme' or 'pro' in the title lol.
Really though the "Navigator" is a step up from sub controller but I think it needs to be shorter i.e 'Navi' (Avatar comes to mind lol)
I dunno, I'm not payed to think of interesting names but since everyone hates the sub-controller moniker they should definitely re-think the name.
Navigator sounds kinda stupid too, they need something short, maybe with an X or Z in it lol.
Well I cant think of anything .....
Ok i've thought long at hard about this....Move junior? lol, it's suprisingly hard to name a product.
