VIII makes sense if you accept that Squall is 100% DEAD after being impaled at the end of disc 1 and that everything afterwards is nothing more than a little brain zone-out before finally fading away.
Hollywood Music Video tends to carry more obscure stuff, and thus remain in business because their stuff is less likely to be widely pirated like a big business film.
Very much the model of the Black Lodge video in Memphis, and they carry the obscure of the obscure.
Since they are all applications of a computer architecture, you could argue they already have, with advent of Steam and other online stores selling software.
There's an additional abstraction layer with D3D and it's CPU limited.
This is why games like Unreal Tournament always ran faster with the (experimental) OpenGL Renderer or 3Dfx Glide versus their D3D renderer. You could run UT with a 133Mhz Pentium and a 4MB Voodoo2 card, or you could go with the minimum 233Mhz and 8MB Direct3D video card to get about 2/3 the framerate of a 'lower-powered' system.
Well, with this sort of exposure, knowing that the purpose of this will be marketing, I think I'm about to sign my business up for one and have a little fun with it.
I know I'll get marketed to - I get to annoy them right back by throwing out my own pitch!
OpenGL is ALWAYS ahead of Direct3D, because OpenGL can accept more instructions that are not built into D3D. As long as the card has the power to do it, you can drop that new instruction in and it can be supported. You have to wait for the same thing to purposely be built into Direct3D.
Which means D3D will always be behind in development.

You're not data center Jesus, you're not even close, son.
Come talk to me when you handle A. Live high definition video monitoring streams B. Realtime pH/TDS/PPM/EC/O2/CO2/Temp/Humidity data C. Have to seamlessly link production facilities across countries AND then monitor/adjust them.
Easy 50TB of data per day just flying around.
BTW, Neither Linux or Windows, nor OSX or Unix operate this system.
Learn Assembler and maybe you'd have half an inkling.
They're both Cell variants based off of PPC. Maybe if you actually grabbed hold of the dev kits for each system and coded for both you'd understand this.

I think 3Dfx GLide was easier than D3D/DX, and GLide was convoluted compared to OGL.
Yep, tried both for simple video overlays and for rendering hydroponics systems and sheds like this.
OpenGL is much faster and requires much less horse power to render.

OGL is still ahead of D3D.
OGL is purely hardware based.

It's not the drivers, the game engine just needs to include an extension in their own renderer.
You can drop new features that D3D and the current revision standard of OpenGL (4.0 as of writing) do not natively support into OpenGL.
The drivers themselves to not have to support it, as the extension is written to work with the driver itself.
Go load up any Quake and go look at all those extension detections.
Better make sure your information is up-to-date, or you might find yourself hit with libel suit!

I think it more likely you hit a divide overflow before you see a GPF.
It was fully updated and was ran before installing and running MSE, I did that myself to confirm viability of the installed anti-virus software.
It still missed simple shit from a year or more ago.
Just repaired a computer that had ClamAV installed.
It missed multiple trojans that Microsoft Security Essentials found.
I'll take 20 containers of nuclear weaponry over your 5th fleet all day long.

They're mostly Japanese because the Japanese have a clue when it comes to using the hardware.

Overhyped?
Explain Shadow of the Colossus, then.
That's what I thought.
"Almost no game renders at 1080p"
I have over twenty on my shelf that render at 1080p.
Not a single one of them is an FPS.
"The 360 doesn't even use a PPC processor"
Bullshit, son.

"False."

Come back when you have relevant experience.
But that is just a speculation.
So is my own hope, so we can just simply argue about this endlessly.
Let's just say we've got our own thoughts about this.
They may not matter now but given how the rest of the world is waking up I would wager that eventually some change regarding this must come.

I was testing this LAST YEAR. Oh look, it's available TODAY.
Ahem, PowerGig Six String lessons Videos, my fault, the game doesn't teach you, there's extra real fucking lessons outside the game on the website.
Now go cry elsewhere, as you're FAR from perfect, yourself, pal.
