I have an Xbox 360 AND a Wii, so if I really want to play games, I am more than capable. I'd just rather be outside!
Spore will be released for both PC and Mac.

Hell, I even tried XP 64-bit and had a ton of driver issues.
I've been running Vista 64bit since Beta 2 and have only had one component, my very old wireless card, not have drivers (this is not counting that fiasco with Nvidia and their 8800 non-WHQL beta bullshit). Generally, what I've seen is that if there is a 32 bit driver there is also a 64 bit for Vista. The reason you didn't have any drivers for XP64 is because M$ never officially supported it. No one used it therefore the hardware people had little incentive to support it.
