Gameloft Games for BB10 Came First...

Of course Android apps are easier to port, BB10 is QNX based......but the Android 2.3 versions you speak of are sideloaded apps, not full ports. This means that the developers are going to prioritize BB10 over WP8 because it's "easier" to do so (on porting existing apps). This problem is becoming a real headache for WP8 consumers.....

ALL the big games are 100% NATIVE Playbook/BB10 apps ported from the iOS versions --- NOTHING to do with Android runtimes. BB10's Android runtime doesn't do native Android c/c++ codes --- which means that it is technically IMPOSSIBLE to port a big 3D game from Android to BB10.

For example, Galaxy on Fire 2 is available on iOS and on Android --- Fishlabs didn't even bother to touch the Android source code, they ported GoF2 directly from the iOS source code to Playbook/BB10.

Entering Premium-Space: Galaxy on Fire 2 HD blazes onto the PlayBook ? Galaxy on Fire 2 HD, Sci-Fi Shooter, Space Trader, 3D Action Game, RIM, Research In Motion, BlackBerry, App World, Playbook, Tablet, Release, Launch, 2012 ? iPhone, iPad & Smartph
 
Android apps only run in Blackberry via an emulated environment, and emulating Android 2.3 at that.

Biggest misconception of all time. Google open sourced the Dalvik engine, RIM grabbed the Dalvik engine source code and ported it to QNX --- when you have the original source code, it is a direct port (and NOT an emulator).
