Amazing videos. On the other hand I doubt that this is more than could be done on consoles. The PS3 for example has enough number-crunching capability to outcompete every PC for physics computations. I just needs to be used.
Here is an article about a coming "Gameframe" from IBM that has a Z-MainFrame for world data storage and Cell processors that handle physics and object interaction for the server side of big MMORPGs.
