If the controllers come with Move support as standard I'd be amazed if the PS4 doesn't come with a camera out of the box.
There's a world a difference between Sony building RGD LEDs into Dual Shock 4 controllers for a few cents/pennies and Sony bundling a nextgen PS Eye camera with the system.
Firstly you have to consider Sony's finances, which aren't great. Sony's console profit model is to subside the hardware and profit on the games but they'll want to be subsidising PS4 as little as possible. Secondly, although Move has achieved moderate success it's not been a runaway success and Sony know this. Maybe things will be different this upcoming gen but Sony can't really afford to gamble on this.
So building a system reliant on Eye/Move (as Microsoft are rumoured to be doing with 720 and Kinect) means Sony have to include the camera in the box and this is more hardware to subsidise. Leaving it as an optional extra for those who want it, means Sony can sell those at a profit, and it leaves the box looking more like a 'hardcore' gaming system - the opposite direction of where Microsoft look to be heading.
