Wouldn't it have made more sense to use NativeClient throughout all their platforms? It's not like a more advanced 3D game that you develop for Android will work just as well in HTML5 when you port the code. With NativeClient it could be a different story. Plus, most 3D games are already written in C++ for Android. I suppose they could still do this later on though.

Native Client only works on Chrome so it's not exactly cross-platform.

  I know, but I was thinking they are going to port NaCl to Android to make their games cross-platform.

    NaCl is x86 and x86_64 only, so it can't run on Android on ARM anyhow.

      Not true: ARM can run PNaCL. http://www.chromium.org/nativeclient/pnacl/building-and-testing-portable-native-client http://www.chromium.org/nativeclient/pnacl/building-and-test... http://www.chromium.org/nativeclient/reference/arm-overview http://www.chromium.org/nativeclient/reference/arm-overview

        PNaCl is not NaCl. None of the NaCl apps in the Chrome App Store are PNaCl apps - which isn't surprising since PNaCl isn't ready.
