As a lot of people have said, it is all greed on the companies part. To make a Pocket PC game does not require as much time and energy as everyone thinks. PPC games are much simpler to program, as they use a rather basic programming language, so it's easier for people to make ones that work on everything.
Someone also said "Plus, big PC game companies are always coming out with new games that sell originally at $50. After a few months (usually after very successful sales)prices drop." Ok, it's true that they come out for like $50. But that's because it takes a lot more effort to create a PC game. It's also longer, better look, etc. And prices drop, no matter what. I can find an game that sold terribly, and get it for $15. I can do the same with a game that sold really well. The prices aren't affected by sales very much. It's affected by how greedy the company is. The prices drop after a while because they start working on something new, and because the rush to get the software is over. They make as much as they can in the initial rush, and when it winds down a few months later, they drop the price. Then more people go and get it saying "Oooh a low price! I think I'll get this!"
As for P2P, there really isn't as much as you think. When I read the first few posts, I checked around and a few sites, and asked some friends for some help, and we really couldn't find anything except really old programs. There really isn't much out there. So don't say that P2P is hurting companies, because it really doesn't exist.
Basically, companies are greedy. They want to make as much money as they want, and they know that we're going to be forced to pay what they want us to pay...
