i am not a developer and i am guessing.....  i might be wrong.  i would 
guess that there are few, if any, commercial games for any architecture 
other than x86 because most that play games have x86.   thats probably 
the same reason most games are for winblows only, most users run that.  
so for a commercial business to make money, they target the largest crowd.

also, i assume there is the M$ FUD in there too preventing some from 
publishing games on anything other than windows and x86.
