Will Amnesia be available for consoles? No!

How are you supposed to be immersed when you have to stand in front of a TV and mimic a running motion to move??

the same way you immerse yourself by sitting infront of a computer monitor and pressing W,A,D, and occasionally S to move.

Except pressing WASD is a simpler way that connects you to the avatar more easily. Same thing as using the mouse compared to doing.. something in order to be able to look around with Kinect.

Let me tell you a little something about immersion. The best way to immerse someone the most is to have her need to provide as little information as possible while giving her the most feedback possible. Compare holding down Shift-W with doing a cardio workout in the middle of your living room. In the latter you're more focused on keeping your footing in order to not fall onto a coffee table or the TV as well as keeping quiet in order to both hear the game and not wake up whomever else lives there, while in the former you are in the game world and your focus is solely on running rather than being careful with your real-life surroundings.

The most ideal thing would be a virtual reality thing that would produce feedback for all five of your senses, but that could be invasive, and even harmful and possibly illegal, so what game developers should be making use out of is things like the Novint Falcon, which a special edition of Penumbra used. It functions like a mouse but it has a motor that allows for complex tactile feedback. You can literally lift up a box and feel its weight, or run your hand along a wall and feel the cracks in it thanks to the way the motor restricts your movement. This is far more immersive than using Kinect, say, grabbing things by opening and closing your hands in very grandiose ways and performing weird and unnatural movements in order to throw them, allthewhile having to move so that your arms aren't blocking the TV screen. You can talk about actual running and grabbing things and stuff when Holodecks are invented.
