The PS4 uses a couple APIs for game graphics, GNM and GNMX[1]. I've heard that their shader language is similar to GLSL (corrected by lunixbochs). The menus are built in WebGL running inside a stripped-down Webkit browser. Developers are unable to use WebGL for games, but it isn't out of the question that will be supported in the future.

HLSL is Microsoft's shading language. GLSL is the OpenGL shading language.
You're point?
The shading language is similar to CG and HLSL, not very similar to GLSL.
