Epic Games has to realize that this is a console. Epic makes engines that need the most powerful PCs to play. A console will never be able to compete with that.

Also, Epic Games doesn't know how to optimize an engine. I'll bet that the next Half-Life title will have better graphics than Unreal Engine 4, but will also be able to run on the Xbox 720 and mid-range PCs.

Consoles are cheap. That's one of the main reasons they sell.
One of the trade-offs is performance.
End of story.

It's all about keeping your revenue streams open and producing. MS and Windows 8 primarily. Sony is shit period so who gives a fuck what they do, bunch of fucking indian givers can keep their PS4 and shove it up their ass. I'll never touch another console from these POS. Xbox 720? How gay is that name? Nice creativity.

Of course reading between the lines Epic are just $hit stirring to keep a hold of the PC fraternity. Like all dev's and publishers they get a cut for promoting hardware on their game boxes, websites etc exclusive deals with M$, AMD,Intel and so on In this day and age of job losses
And software houses closing, they are flapping big time of the threat from the 'next gen' features. Just look at how much phone and tablet gaming has increased? Before it was a joke, now with integra cpu's for a start it's leaped into millions of game sales. Portable gaming Inc consoles is the lifestyle of today's generation. Download play on the move quick fix in house. PC is for a session, which more and more people have no time for.
