Name a single Nintendo/Playstation console that uses DirectX, don't worry I'll wait.
(Tip: they, mostly, used OpenGL)
Also, what API is most commonly used in Mobile? (Ipad, Iphone, Android, etc?), ta-daaa, you got it, OpenGL ES, so a good 97+% of the smartphone marktet, compared to the WinCE/Windows phones, which last time I saw an article on it, was somewhere around 1% of the market.
But yeah, let's thank microsoft for creating a closed source API that none of the best selling games consoles or mobile platforms actually use directly or as a derivative of!.. what?
