Released back in November of last year, Gears of War is still one of the most impressive looking “next-gen” titles out there. Epic’s Unreal Engine 3 technology will soon once again show its prowess with the release of Unreal Tournament III, but is there a chance of the engine being scaled back for Wii?

Rein says no, in fact he doesn’t think there is a lot of money in making engines for the Wii as the big money will be made later on down the road on PlayStation 3 and right now, the Xbox 360.

I don’t think there’s a lot of money on making engines for the Wii… because the big software dollars right now are being earned on Xbox 360 and they’re going to be earned on PlayStation 3, and I think unless you’re going to sell your engine to Nintendo, you’re going for scraps on that platform.
