It also seems wrong that XP is apparently supported, because that was 32-bit only - unless they mean the virtually unused 64-bit version of XP, but that seems like a stretch (and that one was really closer to Windows 2003 anyway).
Also, I'm pretty sure there isn't a 32-bit version of OS X 10.7 anyway, so the notice is rather pointless for that platform.

So expect for the 64 bit version there was no 64 bit version of Windows XP? Rarity and non-existence are two very different things.

64-bit XP was a completely different system due to being based on 2003. It only existed in the Professional edition (no Home edition). It came out very late in XP's reign (2005 compared to 2001 for regular XP and 2006 for Vista). Shell extensions wouldn't work because they were almost always 32-bit only, and driver support was often a problem because hardware manufacturers often didn't do *any* 64-bit development at this point.
On the consumer market, it only ever had relevance for a tiny, tiny group of enthusiasts. Those who really wanted/needed 64-bit would typically go for 2003 instead, which was available long before. As such, it seems incredibly strange for a game to support that configuration at all, without also supporting 32-bit XP - *especially* when said game apparently doesn't require enough RAM to need 64-bit in the first place.
