I edited my previous quote btw.  CryEngine 3 on Shadow of the Eternals looked good in unlocking the console's potential.  I know Unity is using something like DirectX 10.1 level effects currently with their engine with the eventuallity that it will have DX11 in the near future. Isn't Unity a very big 3rd party engine which cost 5-8x less than UnrealEngine?  Thus it is the reason why Nintendo chose this as their "main" engine of choice?

I'm not sure of the technicalities, but I do think you're right. However, I also think making sure they have support on all major engines is money well spent.

Thanks to the Wii U's GPU, Unity has the system running DX:10.1 equivalent support while the X360 is stuck at DX8. So even with limited
 support from UE4 (we do have full support for UE3) Unity engine and CryEngine3 should be quite enough for 3rd parties don't you think?
