Meanwhile, Unreal Engine 4 will be optimized for the iPhone so Epic can make more money from Infinity Blade.

I read this as: UE4 can run on the Wii U, just in a reduced form, hence the 'UE3 is a better fit for the system' comment.

The important question to ask is how reduced will it be from the other 2 consoles, as the changes that will be made need to justify the port process.

The main line is "if a customer decides they want to port an Unreal Engine 4 game to Wii U, they could" That pretty much answers all question about whether or not it will run on the system.

Didn't Epic say it would be scalable down to iPhone levels?
