This isn't the 1st time he refused to commit any development to a Nintendo system since he said Epic wouldn't make any games for the Wii since he didn't feel it was worth the time. Before the Xbox 360, the studio refused working on handheld and console games since they don't believe in the idea of a water-downed engine.
Other companies like Capcom, Rockstar, Treyarch, and a few others have been able to modify game engines to work on almost every handheld/console/phone possible when before it was thought of as "impossible" or a waste of time.

This is likely more their willingness to work, which may fall under "waste of time" or not depending on how you feel about it. I'm not sure I admire them for it, but they're capable of sticking to their guns.
