After reading on the web, it seems that the Eye and Kinect are similar hw wise

With that said, do you think there will be games that do not require a wand like the kinect for the ps3? ie utilizing just the eye?
 
No... Its the extra hardware, sensor stuff in the kinect that makes it work.

There already are some very very basic eye games, but these are even more stupid and simple than the worst ever wii minigames.

PSEye needs move controller for proper position sensing.

Games need some way to corrrelate the players position, the ps eye is too low a resolution and has no hardware to really define that without help from a controller of some description.

Look back in time about 7-8 years, and check out the games that were built for the original EyeToy on the PS2. That is what you will get if all you use is the camera for motion tracking. (Spoiler Alert: It's not pretty)
