"Feel free to point me to a list of high quality in XNA produced titles."

If you want to develop a game on WP7, you HAVE to use XNA. All games in the WP7 app store had to be built with it.

Also, WP7 has no C++ support. John Carmack griped about this on Twitter.

That is exactly my point, why develop for WP7 if you can work with the technologies you want for other platforms which also have a higher userbase?

However I suspect that some of the titles from companies such as EA or Gameloft are still written in C++ even though it is not supported officially by Microsoft. It is highly likely that they have some kind of early access to native code compilation for the platform.
