Think about it like this.

A house is built on top of a foundation. And that foundation is built specifically for that spot.

You can’t just pick up the house and place it somewhere else and have everything be fine and dandy.
In order it move said house, a new foundation must laid. Then all the plumbing and electrical will have to be redone in order for it to be a functional house.

Video games are the same. They’re built for the specific architecture (the platform it’s on).
