Jones, it has nothing of the sort. It’s more of a hybrid between the two but is neither classified as one nor the other. The API was designed to take advantage of a single hardware set which makes it different than a unified instruction set made for cards of different manufacturers.

Check out the Unreal Engine 3 tech demos if you think this is at all to the 360’s detriment.

If you’re using this as an argument as to why the PS3 is better, stop right there–we already know that the PS3’s graphics capabilities are inferior. You say too bad the XB360 has DX9?? I say too bad the PS3 DOESN’T!

Dude, do us a favor and DON’T blog about things you don’t understand. That was an extremely lax way of describing DX10 and was, in large part, erroneous. There are few things that you can do with DX10 that you can’t with DX9; the former just makes it easier and feasible for a GPU to process. DX10 is specifically programmed to take advantage of advanced hardware functions in your graphics card so your processor doesn’t have to do all the grunt work.

In point one you are basically outlining the difference between procedural and explicit geometry/texturing–which is available in both versions of DX. Do some research on realtime SSS, HDR, AA, and Anisotropic filtering if you want to find out why DX10’s implementation is going to be so much better!
