Thing is, PS4 doesn't run Direct X, it uses OpenGL, just like WiiU (which, after a quick search, seems to run an OpenGL version capable of DirectX-like effects), so it's a bullshit reason anyway. That said, I don't expect the 2 games to come to WiiU either way.

But both consoles are capable of DX11+ features. The Wii U isn't.

"NL: What are your overall thoughts on the system and its concept so far?

Johannes Conradie: On the tech side, having DX11 level features is pretty useful, which makes large parts of the system compatible with our other platforms. Overall the hardware itself is slightly faster than the other current-gen consoles. One very nice advantage the console has is the additional usable memory you have. Having that extra memory made development much easier compared to other current-gen platforms."

Conclusion: It is.

Oh right. Like a 5770 is DX11 compatible. But trigger every DX11 features when runing any games, like tressfx, tesselation, advanced lighting and post processing effects, and let's see if you'll still believe this is DX 11 capable.

Might work well for some simpler games at sub-HD resolution, but you won't have much success with bigger games. Even at 720p with most effects and graphics settings set to low.
