I, for one, dislike touchscreens as an input method for games.
I'll take physical buttons and tactile feedback over a screen any day.
You might be able to do more things with a touchscreen (as in, infinite button configurations), but a physical controller is infinitely more practical.
edit- this excludes the DS since it has a stylus. I'm referring to capacitive touchscreens such as the ones on iphones where you have to use your fingers.
...though while I'm not including stylus touchscreens in this, I still prefer buttons to tapping with a pen.
