Commercial developers use C++. If you want to release a game without MS 
having to approve it first, you use XNA which (a) is way easier and (b) 
locks you into a set of libraries that keeps you from (for example) stealing 
user data, DDOSing whitehouse.gov, erasing other peoples' saved games, or 
sending their music over the internet to your server.
