3. Dual Shock 3...
What it was supposed to be the first time.
Hope it isn't too expensive when its released.

6. @ahomelessperson
Seconded.
Does it really need a new name?
So... someone add 'SixAxis V-spec II' or 'SixAxis Type-R' to that list.

7. I always thought the obvious mash-up between Six-axis and TouchSense would be "SixSense". Kind of has a nice ring to it.

8. How about none. I like my own concoctions: Senseaxis or Sixaxsense.

9. Hmmm. You can't use dual shock name anymore because there are no spinning weights on each controller end. Isn't the new rumble technology suppose to be all over the controller??

10. Someone else suggested Sixsens and that is my choice than all of the suggestioned mentioned above.

13. SenseAxis has been my favorite since they announced that the new rumble tech would be called "Touch Sense".

14. My vote would be on "Other" if there was one, and I'd propose...
SixAxi2
SIXAXIS, but with a 2 at the end. To me this seems the most viable name proposed. It doesn't sound hokey, it rolls off the tongue (as it is pronounced just the same as SIXAXIS, but maybe an added 2 at the end), and it follows as the second. Also easy text to animate were it advertised.

15. SevenAxis.

16. well see, the sixaxis had the palindrome going for it soooo...
Bob?
Anna?
A man, a plan, a canal, Panama?
I dunno man... hard to incorporate the vibration in the name.
Bob works though: like, you Bob it around cuz it has motion sensors and it bobs around whilst vibrating. Yea. The PS3 and the Bob controller. Sounds more successful than Micro$oft BOB anyway.

20. Dual Shock 3 is not a good name because it's NOT the Dual Shock. That controller ONLY had rumble. But the SIXAXIS functionality has to be included in the controller name this time.
So, call it the ShockAxsis or RumbleAxis or something like. But you need to at least include the axis functionality in the name. Don't leave that part out or new gamers might just think it just rumbles and that's it.

1. Maybe you could have given an "other" option.
Personally, my favorite has always been DualShake.
