Epic Games has no plans to work on middleware or graphics engines for the Nintendo Wii, according to vice president Mark Rein. "I think the problem is that it is not in our wheelhouse. I mean, what we are doing is the really high-end, next-generation visuals. We are pushing these [Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3] machines pretty hard." "I do not think there is a lot of money on making engines for the Wii..because the big software dollars right now are being earned on Xbox 360 and they are going to be earned on PlayStation 3, and I think unless you are going to sell your engine to Nintendo, you are going for scraps on that platform."
