If Sony was smart, they would find the financing to pick up Epic, and partner Epic with their hardware division. Ie: Have the best engines, tools and middleware available pre-launch for the PS4 to guarantee that the PS4 isnt a repeat of PS3.

Hrmm....Sony and a PC company? nahhhh. Microsoft has much better relationships with them.

Epic isnt a PC company. They are a middleware/hardware support company. The hardware they support, happens to include most major PC hardware, but they are not a "PC company".  Engines, design tools, programming support, technical integration & etc for multiple platforms... that is what Epic does. Which is also exactly what Sony failed to provide pre PS3 launch, and along with poor pricepoint, is why PS3 suffered for so long.

 

Oh, and Epic occasionally builds a game based on their tech , partly for game profits but mostly to showcase.

Until Microsoft made a system  Epic was a PC company who also created engines. :)
