So say if you're playing an FPS, if you move your head slightly to see around corners or above trees then that could dramatically change gameplay. Otherwise, it seems kind of gimmicky to me. More gimmicky than motion controls.

No reason you couldn't combine head tracking and 3D (going from 2D to 3D is incredibly simple... basically most stuff is already 3D, but there's a few common things that mess stuff up), but I don't get how 3D is a "gimmicky" graphical element. I don't see how, say, Battlefield BC 2, isn't gimmicky with one eye, but is with two. The games stay the same. Currently (the 3DS will change this), the games are the same in 3D and 2D, just with and without depth.
