Speaking to Kotaku, SCEA’s Patrick Seybold revealed that “Gem” is just “an early code name for the product” and isn’t necessarily the controller’s final name. “We haven’t announced final name at this point,” said Seybold.

I’m actually thankful for that. The “Gem” name just kept making me want to sing the Jem and the Holograms theme song. Still, it’s not a flat-out denial, so we could still end up waving “Gem” controllers late next year.
