Not sure that is the case, pretty much every game I have installed on my android phone is designed specifically for touch controls, some of them would work OK on a mouse. Very few would be playable on a controller.
Regards joysticks, the only games that I can think of that would be better on a joystick would be flight simulators which probably partly explains the lack of "serious" flight sims available on consoles.
I meant controller when I said joystick, it is the common name where I live.
The majority of games I have on my android have virtual buttons and virtual sticks, some are ports of older console games, like Max Payne, GTA 3 and sonic CD, some are those gameloft action games and some others are action games from EA and madfinger. I even use my PS3 controller and my device plugged on the tv to play better some of those games.
