Direct X is what's killing these rumors for me, I think the people making this crap up should really find out exactly that it is


A DirectX11-enabled card. That doesn't mean Sony have to offer a DirectX11-API to developers.

Direct X platform is fully owned by MS they couldn't offer it to developers even if they wanted to

I dunno, Microsoft wants to drive the adoption of DirectX as the standard. They might just be happy for Sony to use it in their console.

Of course Sony probably wouldn't want to as most things I've read have stated that OpenGL is superior.

5 years ago that might have been true, it just isn't anymore.  Open GL does offer some marginal benefits but without the backing of any of the graphics card manufacturers it's dead in the water except for perhaps the mobile and Apple markets.
