it tracks the user. it has a mic. tracks the ball, and overlays images onto the ball in virtual reality and augmented reality.

Well what does the Wii sensor beam do then? Can't it do those things?

the wii sensor bar takes in Infra-red from the the wii mote. from this it calculates where the user is pointing from that the accelerometers and gyroscopes inside the controller. with motion plus it can also determine depth. it needs to be pointed back at the IR bar though to be kept accurate.

the ps eye looks out at the controller rather than have the controller shot a invisible beam at a bar. the ps eye also has quite a lot of cool features like tracking the user, head tracking, age, gender and face recognition. it can track certain points in a users body although without the ps move it is not very accurately. the eye is a camera designed for gaming just like Kinect although not as advanced.

to answer the question in the title the move can do some things like navigate the xmb without the ps eye but it is very limited.

So some games will take advantage of the camera's sensing abilities and some don't?

Like that sports game with the bow shooting. That could have been done without a camera basically, had it used an infrared invisible beam like the Wii?

Meanwhile there is that party game where it scans the player onto the screen, and this couldn't have been done on Wii motion controls, correct?

hmm you might be able to do the bow shooting but it would be like, you know them phones that you can tilt left and right to move say a ball on screen it would be like that not very effective. I dont know about the party game. without the wii cam which is owned by ubisoft you definitely can't get the user on screen. with wii motion plus you might be able to do it but I have never used it and I don't know how well it is able to determine the position of the user in the room.
