When I write Vulkan group I mean Vulkan Work Group those who are in charge of the standard. Being a member of the Khronos group doesn't mean you're involved in every technology they own.

Microsoft aren't doing any vulkan work. The only reason they are member of the Khronos Group is because IE and Edge use WebGL in their Javascript API and they have an interrest in the standard.

Apple are still on the work groups but yes they don't really do much anymore. They were actually part of the Vulkan Work group to begin with which you prob. know but departed before it really started.

I guess you're discussing semantics when you say Khronos group vs Vulkan group but Nintendo are part part of the Vulkan work group.

See page 4: https://www.khronos.org/assets/uploads/developers/library/overview/vulkan-overview.pdf

Sony is a member of the Vulkan working group but you don't see them using it on the PS4 ... 

I still stand by the belief that Nintendo will not use Vulkan, period ...

vulkan was not ready yet tho... was announced last year.
