All you have to do is look at the origins of shooters and where they still remain king to this day, the 'hood or the battlefield.
The mouse offers precision that can never be had in real life even after countless hours at the shooting range. You can try, you can spend hours just to prove your point but my point will stand.
Try to hit a moving target whilst you yourself are moving whilst firing from the hip over broken ground at something no more than 10-15M away. It doesn't work and chances are you could fire off a whole clip and not hit your target.
Your wrist in that its acting as a 1:1 interface can never truely replicate accurately the feeling of taking aim in a realistic fashion. Holding a controller in your hand is the closest thing to doing the real thing because you're truely making adjustments in a realistic fashion. A mouse will always be valuable in opening web pages however, but when it comes to realistic gaming im glad the mouse is on the way out.
Tease.
