The difference with those other platforms is that they were all still single vendor with no open standard behind them. I’m skeptical of the ability to create a new system because the surface area is so large that you need the massive resourcing of large corporations, but those companies will not willingly create new open standards that would put others on equal footing, at least not in today’s economic culture.

Open source initiatives are great, but I feel that they're weaker than a bigcorp (benevolent?) dictatorship would be at picking a direction and moving in it. When the headline comes out that DirectX13 will be a layer on top of Vulkan, then maybe it's a sign that the world is ready :)
