During an overnight THQ earnings call, THQ CEO and president Brian Farrell referred to Sony’s PS3 motion controller as Arc.

However, Sony quickly shot down Farrell.

“No. We haven’t announced the name of our Motion Controller,” tweeted Sony spokesperson Patrick Seybold. “He referred to it as a rumoured code name.”

The PS3 Motion Controller is scheduled for release this coming holiday season.
