Pretty much.

And double packed math doesn't double performance.

Everytime a UE4 game releases, AMD dies a little on the inside and it's especially sad how japanese developers are going to make this their main engine.) |
Unreal Engine has always had a presence on console since the Playstation 2/Dreamcast era, games like Unreal Tournament, Brothers in Arms, Deus Ex, various Tom Clancy games, Unreal Championship were pretty decent pushers of the engine.
But you are right, Unreal Engine has always preferred nVidia hardware as nVidia was a pretty big sponser of the Unreal technology back in the day. (Not sure what it is like today though.)
Although... Unreal Engine 2 and 2.5 did actually support some of ATI's propriety technology.
Thankfully... As a game engine, it's use isn't as significant as last generation... Thank goodness... As EA has opted to use Frostbite for pretty much everything and even Ubisoft is preferring to use it's own engines.
