The Unreal Engine 4 will not be in no Next-Gen console.

That's what they said in origin, you know why: because as the modern technology it has to be a console that costs more than 1500$ because of the 1tb of cpu of the modern consoles, probably 2 or 3 on the WiiU considering IBM of now, it requires 10tb of cpu, they are running it only with like 1 supercomputer they have done for this.

How can you talk about a thing in realistic manner when it's impossible to have right now.

Dude, where the hell did you get this shit?

He's probably trying to say you need a CPU with some 10 teraflops to run UE4 properly right now, which is way beyond what we currently have even with top of the line Power PC architecture.

The 10 teraflops part is likely an overstatement, but the core of it is probably true, since Epic predicted console power to be way beyond what is currently presumed some years ago, and that's why they are desperately lobbying right now for MS and Sony to deliver in raw power, otherwise companies will keep using their current engines, only updated, instead of licensing their shiny but as of today unecessary UE4.
