We further pressed him that even if it’s a different market for Wii that there would be some way for Epic to apply its Unreal technology to the platform to benefit Epic’s business and aid publishers with their portfolios on Wii. He answered yet again, You’d just be stretching it too thin; I just don’t see it as worthwhile.
