And frankly it wouldn't make sense for a console to use DX11. The whole point of DX is to make it possible for a game to run in multiple hardware variations which comes with a cost in performance. A console doesn't need that because it has fixed hardware.
I guess Microsoft is a stupid company with no money or success in general since they designed and named their consoles after DX then. Perhaps with your knowledge you can take over their gaming division.


I guess Sony is stupid as well, giving Developers more options to make games.
Mar. 28, 2013 PS4 DX11 API
Developers will be able to take advantage of Microsoft’s latest industry standard DirectX API — DirectX 11.1, but Sony has taken the time to improve upon it, pushing the feature set beyond what is available for PC games development.
Those improvements include better shader pipeline access, improved debugging support features out the box, and much lower level access to the system hardware enabling developers to do “more cool things.” That’s achieved not only through an modified DirectX 11.1 API, but also a secondary low-level API specifically for the PS4 hardware.
