It's because PAL machines are slightly slower then NTSC machines, only a frame or two slower though. It's something to do with the differences of outlets in the world and such. I think with the case of new generations of technology they've managed to rectify it I think, but I doubt you'll see it much outside of game consoles since I THINK it's quite expensive and plus like someone mentioned The Film and Television industries would suffer more then the Game Industry.

I think that's generally it. We did about the regions in Media a few weeks back but it's kinda fuzzy in my head so I might be wrong.
