I wonder what the percentage is when you figure the entire "computer" gaming market (eg. consoles, tablets, and phones). I suspect Microsoft's dominance on gaming is (and will become even more) weaker than we believe. OpenGL seems like a no-brainer for future survival as MSFT platform dominance exhibits entropy.

Is PS3/PS4 development OGL or a proprietary API? Because if it is OGL then yes that makes said API far more useful for sheer amount of access to hardware.

  The PS4 uses OpenGL (4.4?). The PS3 used a proprietary API based on OpenGL 1.0.

    The PS4 supports OpenGL, but my understanding is that most non-indie games use libgcm.
