Personally I don't really see the value or personally like "Move controls" via camera as auxilliary to most games, other the "fun party games" and the like (not core gaming experiences). PS4 now has the touchpad, but 6 Axis really seems the best "auxiliary control", that can do similar things to anything "Move controls" could do, but doesn't require you to alter your gross body physics very much, and doesn't require moving fingers off of pads/thumbsticks like the touchpad.

I'm less interested in the touchpad as auxiliary control in 'normal games', as much as the fact that it enables new types of games. Sony has been mouse/keyboard compatable for a while now, but realistically any game released for it will need to support non-mouse/keyboard setups, just because those aren't standard. With a touchpad, games can be designed around a mouse/touchpad control scheme. Especially for certain genres coming from PC, that is great, and could see more such genre games coming to PS4 console since the same control scheme is compatable. (people might still think actual mice are superior, but the experience is at least 'compatable', likewise on PC laptops... if people want the optimal competitive option, they can plug in a mouse (which are very cheap for the low end ones anyways)
