Just implement the AMD mantle then.

Mantle is just bringing PC APIs to the point where console APIs already are.

 

True but then again consoles also have high level APIs too. 

What do you mean? PS4's GNM is a low level API. Yeah, there's the wrapper API. But coding to the metal is entirely possible on the PS4. Something that isn't entirely possible with the XBO since it's relying exclusively on a high level API. Even if MS is touting features that bring the XBO's version of DX11 to "close to metal" level.
