GameFly Rental Charts Feb. 24-Mar. 2: Killzone 2 victorious

Guerrilla Games' sci-fi shooter prevents Xbox 360's clean sweep of rental service's weekly charts.

110 Comments

It isn't often that Microsoft's Xbox 360 is ousted from the top of GameFly's weekly console and portable rental charts. Of course, it also isn't often that an exclusive of Killzone 2's caliber is released. Last week, Guerrilla Games' critically lauded PlayStation 3-only sci-fi shooter debuted to avid rental enthusiasm, according to GameFly's rental activity for the week of February 24-March 2.

No Caption Provided

However, similar to the prior week's Street Fighter IV for the PS3 anomaly, the remainder of the chart belonged to the Xbox 360. Console exclusives Left 4 Dead, Star Ocean: The Last Hope, and Gears of War 2 picked up the second, third, and fifth slots in GameFly's chart, and Call of Duty: World at War placed fourth.

After its debut at number one a week prior, Street Fighter IV slipped to eighth, having been surpassed by F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin in sixth and Fallout 3 in seventh. Prince of Persia and Fable II rounded out the week's rental activity, slipping into the ninth and tenth slots, respectively.

Week of February 24 - March 2, 2009
1) Killzone 2 (PS3)
2) Left 4 Dead (X360)
3) Star Ocean: The Last Hope (X360)
4) Call of Duty: World at War (X360)
5) Gears of War 2 (X360)
6) F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin (X360)
7) Fallout 3 (X360)
8) Street Fighter IV (X360)
9) Prince of Persia (X360)
10) Fable II (X360)

Strange how people are making a big deal about the RENTAL charts... and not the sales charts. More people would rather rent these games than own them. So why are the FEW ps3 fans soooo happy? Can't believe this was the only good thing game-spot could report about this game... It's just a Halo wanna be game anyway(It's not even an original idea).Btw Halo is a way way WAY better game.

To see that one game take over the number 1 spot and dominate the others 9 games from 360. It is a sign n also a message to any loud mouths 360 FB out there that " THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING " better watch your backs cause more are coming.

It's surprising how much SF IV has dropped in just one week since its release, especially to games that have been out for a while like L4D, COD WaW, and Gears 2 (all great games too, just have been out for much longer).

So we have 1 PS3 game no wonder it's in top. 360 is spreading the user base from 2-???. Combine all those and we have 80%+ GameFly users are Xbox 360 owners.

yeee... something worth mentioning, 360 owners don't really buy their games. they just rent and burn to their modded consoles... only time they are online is in the rental period with the original game. lol. suckers!

Pretty impressive, but the 360 still has the hardcore following as can be seen in spots 2-10 (burn games to a modded console hardcore).

For me, I prefer to rent a game through Gamefly rather than pay full price for a game (given how crappy the economy is and all). I can play the game for as long as I want and if I REALLY like it, I can choose to keep it for a lesser price. Besides, some games (even some of the top games), lose their appeal after a while, and I can send it back to get a new game without the hassle of trying to sell it. If I know a game is going to be great, I will pre-order and shell out the cash for a new game on it's release.

You can buy 3 games instead playing all 10 and have a good time for many weeks. As for me, I would choose Killzone 2, Gears of War 2 and Fable 2!!!

Well, as far as I know as an owner of all three consoles, you can't rent a PS3 game and burn it like you can 360 games so you can play it on your modded console, which I don't by the way. Or wasn't I supposed to write that!

Having only one game up there against 9 others is really a blow to Sony...PS3 owners have got to start supporting their console.... talk will only get you so far. This combined with software (games) retail numbers give you a very accurate number as to which console is Americas number one choice...you can NOT believe a word of the spin that the companies throw at you... man, ... to think that more people are still interested in the 360's older games rather than the PS3's newer games is very telling.

So you CAN"T mess with these numbers, and I trust that these numbers reflect much more accurately what console OWNS the US.... I don't trust any of the console makers to give honest numbers, so this to me is showing the world what is the relevant console.. The 360 has done it, there is NO way to spin this one.

The only reason 360 games dominate the charts is because people want to take advantage of gamefly's renting system to get as many achievements as they possibly can.

ya i totally agree with devoid27 -the PS3 has the exact same games as 360, but after all this is game rentals after all, which means most of the people dont really want to buy the games. And guess whos on most of the chart?....the 360 lol just think bout it for a sec.....
