The controls and game preferences are generally very different on the Wii compared to the other consoles anyhow, so likely if a game like Gears of War or Mass Effect would at some time go fully multi-platform, a Wii version would probably be based on an entirely different game engine.

MikeB, it's sentences like this which make me wonder... do you really think about what you write?
What do controls and game preferences have to do with having a different engine?
|
Very different specs, different gaming methods and requirements => Other things are expected from a game engine compared to on other platforms, so it probably makes sense to style a game engine from the ground up (or overhaul) specifically for the platform.

I agree that the Wii should get different engines, but not because of controls or taste in games.
