After tearing down the latest crop of advanced gaming platforms, from the Playstation 3 to the Xbox 360 Elite, analysts at Semiconductor Insights took a scalpel to the original game console—the Atari 2600—to just how far gaming technology has come over the past 30 years.

With the camera rolling (see video:video icon) the analysts took a trip through time and in a separate On-Demand webinar (Atari 2600 vs. PS3, Wii and Xbox 360 Elite) they cataloged what they found and compared it to the Sony Playstation 3, Nintendo Wii and Microsoft Xbox 360 Elite.
