Native code support: Windows Phone 8 has full C and C++ support, making it easier to write apps for multiple platforms more quickly. It also means Windows Phone 8 supports popular gaming middleware such as Havok Vision Engine, Autodesk Scaleform, Audiokinetic Wwise, and Firelight FMOD, as well as native DirectX-based game development.
But I have a doubt whit this , comment about DirectX, then a phone whit windows 8, don´t have Opengl?¿...
Now, is the phone OS that uses Windows 8 ? If so, it could be good...
Windows Phone 7 was a no-no, but Phone 8 might be good to get into - there's no competition and it's ripe for the picking.
Especially if they are doing a C/C++ SDK and not restricting it to C#
