I got linked to a pretty interesting blog posting shared with me by a coworker about how the Xbox geeks displayed some gamplay data on the in game map to see, what areas are causing framerate drops, avg time to complete, and what areas of the map people spend the most time in.
This is an Excel product that maps data - and they applied it their to game development, but I think its still post worthy here. Hopefully some of the bigger developers adopt this and use the information to create more engaging in game content and a less resource intensive environment.
