Sony, Konami file Arc trademarks News • News • Eurogamer.net

PS3 wand reveal for GDC next week?

Sony and Konami have both filed Arc-related trademarks in Japan.

Sony's filing (spotted by Siliconera) protects the name PlayStation Arc, and arrives a week before the PS3 wand will be playable at GDC 2010. Coincidence? Perhaps Sony's codename for the motion-sensing device stuck.

Konami's simultaneous filing for Gradius Arc (also on Siliconera) may be completely unrelated; but it also may not.

GDC 2010 kicks off next week and we'll be there, chomping through the news.

The Lord told Sony,
To build him an arc-y arc-y,
...

presumably they're planning to replace the black plastic finish with gopher bark.

Gradius is an old school side-scrolling shooter first released by Konami back in '85. Could be a HD reboot using the wand controller?
