The thing is that the version of DX the XB1 had already had a much lower overhead than true PC DX11.1 or whatever vesion they use, it only used mostly the same calls, so you could easily re-use code across platforms and not need to train your devs too much when they approached the new machine... that has been a benefit of the xbox consoles since the early days.
- API you already know
- Tailored for a fixed hardware platform
Now, this is not to say they won't implement some nice low level tweaks over time to go from the reference implementaitons and more into a solution 100% optimized for the uncerlying hardware + devs will get better with designing around the hardware limitations... however all this is also true for Sony's platform, which has more powerful hardware underneath it.
