Isn't the PS4 rumoured to be getting Vulkan?

Yeah,  the PS4 should support Vulkan. Or at least it could fairly easily it seems.

I'm quite sure Sony won't support Vulkan on PS4 . For the simple reason that it doesn't need it. GNM, the close to the metal PS4 API, is at a much lower level. But nothing is going to stop Vulkan to make its own port on PS4 and XB1, if they wish so. So it may happen as a third party API.
