Direct X 10/11 Question - Answer (Translated)

[Fear]

I've been thinking... SE is a console-oriented company and they obviously have openGL experience from programming for the PS3 (PS2, too? idk). So WHY are they forcing themselves to write the game in directX? openGL can do the same things DX does, and from what I saw, DX is more backwards than openGL, imho.

As far as I understand OpenGL is harder to program for if the hardware will vary alot, for PS3 its no prob because all PS3s are the same, but for PCs DirectX is much easier (and updated more) for a bigger variety of hardware

Isn't it all the same though? all you need is a special openGL version, just like you need DX9 for most games, and any card on the market that is powerful enough has this version. openGL shouldn't be different in that aspect.
