Epic: Our games don't appeal to the Wii's crowd.

But seriously, Epic doesn't need their games on the Wii to make money. They make money every time the Unreal Engine is licensed, and that's in too many games to count.

They do like money, they have plenty of it. Aside from Unreal engine, they have Gears, Unreal tournament, etc, and seem to be doing just fine, sans Wii.

Just in case people didn't know that epic is in great financial shape, and don't need the supposed money they'd make developing on the Wii.

Listen to the man: he's right. In fact, Epic would lose massive amounts of cash if Wii development really took off, since they're making their killing off the middleware that HD costs require (even that bastion of engine development, Square-Enix, has fallen to the surging HD dev costs). The more games that are made for the 360 and PS3, the more likely Epic is to profit.

Most Wii owners that are serious gamers own a PS3 or 360 so there's no harm in the way they dismiss the Wii.

Oh please tell me, Mister Mighty Tayne sir, how might I become a snobcore Serious Gamer and be just like you?

Well, you can start off by investing in a 360/PS3 or both to go along with your Wii.  That'll pretty much do it.  It'll cease the need to comment in threads like this about Company X doesn't want to develop for Console X.  Because, "Hey I have the best of both worlds so why should I care?"  And there you have it.
