| Azzanation said: DX has been a big part of windows gaming way before Sony even released there first console and since the console market was growing, MS tried to buy out Nintendo and implement DX with Nintendo's consoles, The big N said no, MS went to Sony and Sony said no, MS tried to buy out Sega and Sega said no, so they basically made there own console which became Xbox (Direct X Box) Sega's spiritual successor. |
Actually, DirectX 1 launched in 95, PS1 launched in 94 in Japan...and IIRC, more or less, DirectX was pretty much irrelevant until DX3. Games on PC back in those days were using mostly software renderers, with few forays into OpenGL territory when Voodoo launched, and some botched attempts at 3D cards like S3 Virge, which I happened to have at the time.
