I've noticed that there are more windows vista games popping up and im wondering if they are going to stop making windows XP games and switch to windows VISTA?

Well eventually Vista will take over as far as Operating Systems are concerned but you can't believe that the game manufacturers are going to make games that aren't compatible with XP with all of the many, many millions of XP users out there. Not only that but Microsoft just announced their support for XP all the way out to 2017. Here's a quote from a tech site I belong to.
"...The system-builder cut-off date for XP stays at 2009.... Microsoft will provide mainstream support through 2012 and extended support through 2017..."
That should tell you that XP is going to be around for years to come and the game makers will certainly make their games compatible for XP and Vista. There is just way to much money involved for them not to.
I hope this helps.

Yes. Because they want you to buy Vista.
Like Halo 2, for example, but they failed... there's an xp patch for it ;)
