I don't actually see the Move doing much in regard to selling more consoles. Perhaps it would if it were bundled free.

To keep PS3 relevant in the evolving console gaming market.

If PS3 didn't have Move, making it the only console without dedicated motion control capability, it would implode into a self defeating void of irrelevance. With Move it stays relevant and retains a good position for the next generation.

I think PSEye 3 for PS4 will be a 3D camera giving PS4 Move more of a Kinect vibe, while retaining the buttons. Giving it a great deal of versatility with both contoller and controller free gaming. Kinect of course will popularise controller free gaming and so Next gen consoles without a solid controller free option will be left behind. Monocular PSEye, while good (witness King Fu Live), isn't good enough.

Other -move's purpose is to aid Sony in the next generation. If they didn't bring out move, then next generation Sony's developers would be the only ones (except for a few third parties that dont make on the Wii, msost of which are pure PC devs) that have no idea how to make a motion controlled game. Additionally, if move hadn't released, then the forum dwellers who bought a PS3 would be very distressed when the PS4 gets announced, now, with move having released and having some good games coming out soon, Sony can release the PS4 with very minimal classic controller support without scaring their fans.

 

P.S. - this point of view also works if you replace Move with Kinect and Sony with MS, uh, and PS4 with 720
