There's no reason PS4 couldn't work with DX12. Hell, given its better HW, I would imagine it would work better with it than the One would. Of course, that doesn't mean they will use it. I think most people on PS systems use OpenGL, which seems to get the job done just as well. This just another baseless secret sauce topic where Xbox fans hope that some magic SW can overcome an ~40% HW advantage the PS4 has, like the Cloud, ESRAM, tiled resources, and dGPU. It has never happened, and it will never happen. No problem in them continuing to dream, though. Just like I dream of when Sony will buy Crash and Spyro back, and make good games with them again.
