UE4 Scaled down to run on PS4, why not Wii U?

it should be possible. Epic probably dont see the benefit of scaling UE4 to wiiU because they dont see a good business opportunity there.

This. And you can be sure Epic will port itself, if customers of Epic/UE sell their UE3-games a lot on WiiU and also want to sell UE4-games. But this is unlikely, that's why Epic didn't made it for WiiU in the first place.

Also, so far are barely any UE4-games, so it is not a big deal for now.

Isn't UE4 going to more demanding and more expensive than UE3 when it comes to developing for Nintendo? Working on last gen tech should be more profitable. I mean I know Nintendo doesn't want to seem like the gimp at the table but they are.

You guys should really leran, that there is no magical technical barrier that separates last-gen-tech and current-gen-tech. That is too much console-think. PC are gradually better depending on what you pay and when you buy. And not even that - a newer computer may have additional support for some effects or others dropped or reduced. There are different components that can be on different power level.

There is no reason UE4 cannot run on PS360 or whatever - it will run on mobile devices. It is a business decision. And WiiU don't get UE4, because Epic thinks it will not get enough UE-powered games. And I think they are right on this.

And look at this angle: PS360 get gimped UE3 compared to WiiU.
