Nintendo - Wii U Ports? - View Post

Yes. Using Gears of War as an example, that game is made to run on Xbox 360 using Unreal Engine 3. If Epic wanted to, I"m sure they could have downported the game to PS2 or Xbox but it doesn't make sense for their vision of the game.(Ignore the fact that Microsoft and Epic had some kind of exclusivity agreement)

Xbox, yes, PS2 no.  Xbox actually used programmable shaders but it was still single core so it would hae had major comaptability issues, not just performance issues.

That's also why the Wii never had UE3.  Single core and fixed function pipeline.
