Interesting talk about why games like FarmVille, Guitar Hero, and Wii Fit are taking off. All of them are based in reality, which will be the next big phase in gaming.

The Data-Crunching Powerhouse Behind ‘Avatar’:

Thirty four racks comprise the computing core, made of 32 machines each with 40,000 processors and 104 terabytes of memory.

For the last month or more of production those 40,000 processors were handling 7 or 8 gigabytes of data per second, running 24 hours a day. A final copy of Avatar equated to 17.28 gigabytes per minute of storage.
