Google To Track In-Game Behavior?

Google and ???? watch every other aspect of online behaviour so it comes as no surprise that they finally as going to survey online gaming behaviour in a big way.

See article
Google believes that it will be able to track in-game behavior in order to determine crucial information about an individual's purchasing tendencies. The information gathered in this manner could then be sold to advertisers for a pretty penny, we imagine. The details of the patent state that Google will be able to monitor people playing on any game console that hooks up to the Internet, including the PS3, the Xbox 360, and the Wii.

I assume they just forgot to add "PC". Or maybe they're already listening in as your team goes to plan the bomb in Counter-Strike?
