part of it comes down to what we're used to. a longterm console gamer will have difficulty adjusting to a computers mouse and keyboard just as a longterm computer gamer will be resistant to controllers

another part comes down to the fact that a games immersion should depend on the strength and atmosphere of the game and not the controller. I've been drawn into many games despite clunky UIs, awkward controls and bad graphics. a game doesn't need to have us make the real life hand gestures appropriate to an action to make us feel like we're performing the action, not if it's done well
