That's supposed to be the idea of the camera, it'll detect the movement so you don't need to rely on a sensor bar. The current Wii sorta has cameras in the controllers, though they only detect IR light at an incredibly low resolution. A camera would in a way have the same effect as an optical mouse that you can wave in the air.

On the upside the internal camera idea will make PS move look like a kids toy (which it is BTW, and it still looks like a glowing electric vibrator) because the moment the Move controller goes out of view the console predicts what it's doing. A some what good idea, but if you're playing with a few people it's inevitable someone will end up with their glowing icecream semi hidden - the Wii controller wouldn't have that issue.
(actually, the current Wii it doesn't have that issue - GYROS FTW \o/ )

It's the touch screen that bothers me. It's gimmicky - yes it's Nintendo we're talking about - but it reeks of "oh, people play games on touch devices" *adds touch screen to controller* "they'll love that". IMO it'll just get used for retarded crap initially, then forgotten about while pushing the price of the controller up.
