This way Sony can compete on a more level playing field to the Wii U, such as providng an extra screen to play games on while someone else watches TV, or the extra screen being used in conjunction with the move (like a golf game, as in the Wii U demo vid).

Exactly. Just like the PS Move can be used as an optional device for games (if coded into the title). Simple, yet effective solution to a non issue that people try to make into a mountain to overcome.
