References for Apple TV gaming found in iOS 4.3 Beta

iOS 4.3 has earlier revealed some stuff that is headed for us in future. Once again, iOS 4.3 beta 3 has some code bytes that potentially indicate online gaming platform like Xbox Live on Apple TV. It might be not that much strange as Apple TV’s 2nd generation is expected to have new A5 processor.

Several references have been found pertaining to “ATVGames” and “ATVThunder” that point to a controller of some sort, leaderboards (think Game Center), a way to schedule games (multiplayer?), and a store front (think App Store, iTunes). We’re particularly intrigued by two strings — “com.apple.appletv.play.live.thunder” and “.play.archive.thunder” — but what those actually mean in the grand scheme of things is ultimately ambiguous
It is also possible that next generation Apple TV may close the gap between iOS for Apple TV and other iOS devices and will act similar to other devices as gaming platform.
