Namco decided todo the light gun the way they did (Market research, cost reasons and time they released it, I mean force feedback devices have really only come about for the home in the last 3 years).
I'll be honest and say home guns aren't the same robustness as geniune arcade controls (The price is huge I think Namco arcade guns are $150 each), obviously home guns are a lot cheaper.
Same goes for Force feedback wheels, home ones exist, but they are crap compared to arcade ones, home ones don't give off much power, where these arcade ones on full setting can be so powerful that no human can move it.
