Omnivision is one of the biggest suppliers of parts for cameras, they're one of the iPhone supplier and now in their last report they talk about a very specific console:

Console plans were also unusually singled out during the call. The company said it had obtained a "significant design win" to supply cameras for a game console that would be ready in the next several months.

While the customer wasn't named, it wasn't likely to be Microsoft given that it already has a deal with the Kinect. With Sony more likely to use its own sensors for the NGP, the deal is more likely to focus on Nintendo's Project Cafe. The sequel to the Wii is rumored to be getting a controller with a camera for self-portraits and other photo-related gameplay that would need phone-sized sensors like those made by OmniVision.

Going to play devils advocate here, on one side you have the Wii remote, which already HAS a camera built in, no it's not a normal camera it is a IR camera, but still a camera which means this is plausible. On the other hand you have another "console" ready in by the end of the year and is commonly used with cameras, it's that new Android based "gaming console", I keep using quotes mostly cause I'm not 100% sold on the idea that people want to sit and play their droid games at home on a tablet sized screen, but it is being called a console none the less.

I get what you mean, but normally companies tend to be specific on the subject. That is to say that if it was a mobile phone or tablet, they would probably say it like that.
It seems to me that they are indeed talking about a normal gaming console, which do give some substance to the rumors around Cafe`s controller having a camera.

What could a camera possibly add to the gameplay experience?
