 He seems like an anylitical thinker which means when he playes these games he very well knows with his physical ability that if in reality he could do the things he wanted to do. When a controller is all he has as a variable mechanism it makes him feel stupid when he can't do a shot or a jump or what ever he is trying to do. thus he becomes angry with the machine. and thinks its really dumb ... it is really dumb and he has to understand that the machine is not perfect like the human is.
Id suggest you take him to have a go at real golf or what ever sports game he is playing. Of course mario would probably a bit difficult in the real world.
