Epic: "Wii Not Profitable"
Unreal Engine 3 has been very profitable for Epic, as it is now used for almost every good-looking game in the wild. For those wishing for it to show up on the Wii… keep on dreaming, as Mark Rein does not think there’s much “money” in the platform.
“What we’re doing is the really high-end, next-generation visuals,” he said. “We’re pushing these machines real hard. I just think that we have too many things on our plate to go back and put resources into that kind of thing.”
He doubts the profitability of the platform, simply commenting “I don’t think there’s a lot of money on making engines for the Wii.” Apparently, the Xbox 360 is where it’s at, and the PS3 is the one to look forward to in the future. “Unless you’re going to sell your engine to Nintendo, you’re going for scraps on that platform,” said Rein.
