Right... so do Kinect and the Wiimote, actually. Darkness is actually most detrimental to the Eyetoy, as it does not use IR for body tracking. Move itself will be fine, as it emits the light needed, whereas both the Wiimote and Kinect use IR, which is not dependant on the lighting to work.

One of the spec of Kinect is to detect colors, you need light for that, colors do not exist without light. Also, it would mean that only the depth sensor is needed to play, why is there stereoscopic cam? Im not saying your wrong, just trying to understand.

 This camera takes your picture while you are playing  .. just like a webcam. IR camera (depth sensor) is the part that does the tracking.  There is a demo (don't remember where) which shows what the tracking camera sees. It show the IR image yet you can see the depth of the person face, body and hands. (one player  image was colored red and the other colored green)
