I'm a little surprised that the WiiU doesn't use state of the art DirectX 11, but instead uses the older 10.1. I hope this doesn't mean Microsoft is saving DirectX 11 for the Next Box.  While great, I don't want to  be limited to DX 11 or DX 11.1 as we will be locked into already several year old tech for another bunch of years. (Please innovate with DirectX 12 or more!)

Can I ask where you got that information from? K'thnx.

Also, DX11 has been out for a while now but devs  just recently started  using it in PC games. Most games are still using DX 9 and 10. Devs don't make a mass jump on to a new API as soon as it is released, the transition  takes a couple of years.

Even Epic gave us Samaritan as what they expect from next gen consoles and that's a DX11 demo.

The DirectX 10.1 in the WiiU?  I believe it was part of what Nintendo was specifying at E3.  Would be most happy if it's 11 and equivalent open GL.

Yes, the Samaritan demo looks great. But graphic artist still have more that they want beyond DirectX 11.  Since I assume we will be stuck with whatever Nextbox DirectX is for several years.  I would hope that it has room to expand to something even better.
