And how many of those run DirectX? Are we really trying to debate whether or not OpenGL is more portable than DirectX across platforms? Really?

I'm calling out the incredibly common lies that a) game consoles use OpenGL b) all major game platforms use OpenGL.

Like it or not, neither of those are true. It might be nice if they were.

OpenGL is obviously still a widely-supported choice on desktop PCs (and mobiles), so that's not in question.
