I kind of see it if you are using a pen to aim, and i agree because is there is no momentum like on a analog. But one thing that is really a downer to me is how can you use your finger on it. Every single smartphone or tablet i ever use don't make easy to glip you finger across the screen, so it's useless, because there is no that much capacitive pens out there.
This is just like metroid prime stylus control. At first i tried and hated, because i got lost. Then i tried later again and find the precise rigth way to grip the device with the aid of the strap to perfect hold the device with one hand, while the another was using the stylus. And then i trhow my mouse away :P But really, the stylus and the stripe are fundamental to hold the device firmily like a mousepad,a thing that the portable device don't have. But, portable device are used on train, where the is no stability, so i see why can hate it in favor of dual analogs.
About the responses, most don't read after the title, so you should change it.
"Hardware design isn’t about making the most powerful thing you can.
Today most hardware design is left to other companies, but when you make hardware without taking into account the needs of the eventual software developers, you end up with bloated hardware full of pointless excess. From the outset one must consider design from both a hardware and software perspective."
