Gamefly Charts Topped by PS3 Title for First Time

Gamerdeals.net writes:

"For the first time in the history of the Gamefly charts, a PS3 exclusive title has taken sole possession of the top spot.

For the week of February 9, 2009, Killzone 2 takes the top spot on the cross-platform Gamefly Top Ten 'Most Queued' list. Following close behind is Street Fighter IV (PS3/Xbox 360). House of the Dead: Overkill is at the top of the Nintendo Wii Queue as well...

Queue up the complete Gamefly Top 10 most requested lists:"

b but but I thought everyone was supposed to believe Edge that this game is only 7/10????

looks like Edge is not only the joke of the internet, but the joke of newsstands as well...

[cmrbe]

are elitist bastards. That's why i hate them. Not so much their scores. Anyone that reads their reviews knows that they are full of themselves and have lost touch with common gamers.

@XXZ. Believe it or not there was a time when EDGE was good. Now. I wonder if they are actually reviewing games for gamers or just trying show how arty they are with their reviews. It's a complete mess.

[XxZxX]

cmrbe, edge shouldnt be hated, they should be ignored. When a thing is worthless, that's nothing to hate.

[Tarasque]

Well i for one canceled my pre order and put it on my gamefly list after playing the demo, seems alot of people are doing the same.

[Sasanova]

QUICK SOMEONE CALL EDGE!!! lol garbage ass magazine

[sofresh200]

MGS4 never did this?? Looks like this game will sell big.

@Taraesque

It looks like its due to the influx of new PS3 owners to me.

[edwineverready]

you are a sad little man. i think you don't even own a ps3. your comments on this game have been negative. i am happy you are not buying the game one less whiner online.

[The Dude]

@Tarasque

Same here I canceled my preorder after playing the KZ2 demo then added to my gamefly queue, definitely a rental ony.

[Kushan]

I hope you guys realise that Killzone 2 isn't the only game Edge has "underrated". In fact, that's half the appeal to the Magazine, they're extremely harsh critics (usually).
Personally, I don't go near the mag either, but that's only because I never take any heed to a game's score. One of my favourite games of all time has a metacritic rating of 80 - nothing exceptional, but it's still MY favourite game of all time, I enjoyed it immensely and that's all that really matters in the end.
Don't waste your energy hating others that have a difference of opinion to you, it's not worth your time. Just play games and enjoy them.

[GrandTheftZamboni]

1 UP, your trolling skills have improved.

You don't copy/paste anymore. This post almost looks like an honest opinion.

[Slinkey]

I'm pretty sure we can put edge in with the other taboo gaming items (vgchartz for example :P)

[prowiew]

What does Edge have to do with this news? But maybe people are gonna rent it now since they read the edge review.

People should and need to buy killzone

[dantesparda]

Tara, your 360 fanboy, PS3 hating @ss is full of sh!t, nobody believes your fake @ss, your intentions have always been to hate on the game. And The Dude (another big time 360 fanboy, PS3 hating moron), thats funny cuz i never even downloaded the Halo Wars demo, or would buy that sh!t or would even put it in my game queue. So whats that say about that game?

And i think that people need to buy the game, not rent it

[Bordel_1900]

@dantesparda

Yeah, I have both those morons on ignore, must be a reason for it. Those guys never had a PS3, they're just trolls.

[dantesparda]

Maybe I should put all these d!ckheads on my ignore list. But i dont ignore anybody. If i have a problem with somebody then i just tell 'em. But i really am getting sick of reading their sh!t. So maybe i should start ignoring.

[sonarus]

*cries* i have dreamed of this day lol

That is pretty impressive though. This is perhaps the first true sign with which i can say KZ2 is going to be a whopping success. Accomplishing a feat even my precious MGS4 couldn't do

[NaiNaiNai]

yep the fact that more people want to rent the game then buy it, >.> sure is a success. XD
-nai-

[celldomceen1]

maybe the want to rent the game then buy it. Better than if they did neither.

[XxZxX]

nai = short for denial. Check the pre-order lately?

[NaiNaiNai]

ahhh sony fans can't take a joke. XD "go take a look at the pre-order" go look at halo 3 sells. T_T same difference, doesn't make it a great amazing game as you guys say. ROFL
-nai-

@ below

1.1 million pre-orders

tahts its, nothing more. thats sad, thats lik 1/12 of the people who own a ps3 in eroupe. T_T game sure is great huh.
-nai-

[Liquid Snake]

do what i did guys, just put trolls like NaiNaiNai, Why Dis, Jason 360, Bladestar and Foxgod on your ignore lists.

Life will feel so much better.

[Aclay]

"yep the fact that more people want to rent the game then buy it, >.> sure is a success. XD
-nai- "

The only people that I think will be renting Killzone 2 first are people that didn't really like the controls or how the game felt and it's slower pace.

Pretty much everyone else that played the Killzone 2 Beta and people that loved the Demo are going to be buying Killzone 2 day one, and the 1.1 million pre-orders in Europe alone is just a testament to that.

[sonarus]

Actually gamefly does a pretty good job of estimating the demand for a title. Title in high demand usually means title with high sales

Halo 3, Gears 2 and all the top selling 360 games all topped gamefly charts

[XxZxX]

mr denial, yeah man, the games is great. falling back to your HALO 3 fort eh.
What is sadder, u tell me
1. Spend $40 million on advertising and price cut to make HALO 3 millions seller.
2. Spend average on advertising and no price cut and still make Killzone 2 millions seller.

Well #1 seems to be all marketing hype there. Kinda remind me of AS SEEN ON TV stuff. That's really sad.

[dznutz00]

yep the fact that more people want to rent the game then buy it, >.> sure is a success.

i thought the same this at first but.....

i may be wrong but doesn't gamefly have to purchases the games in order to rent them out just like any other place?

i mean really do u think they get free copys

[Rmagnus]

Trolls ran out of games to play?

[N4Garbage]

No.

Gamefly isn't a consumer so its copies of games that it receives doesn't count as sales.

Gamefly is a big enough company to get games shipped to them as if they were a retail store but instead they rent.

You can buy games from Gamefly which I'm sure they keep track of and send the #'s off to data trackers and publishers.

[dznutz00]

si what ur tryin to tell me that GG and Sony wouldnt count this as a sale.... Really even tho the sold it at the same price....

im sorry but i dont get paid by Sony or GG so i dont care that much but to say that it doesnt count as a sale just because they rent it is kinda dumb....
im sure as hell gamefly pays the same as wal-mart for the game the only diffrence is that gamefly makes more money on the games they buy

edit: lastly if i the consumer go in to say gamestop and by a used game u dont count it and GG and Sony dont get paid but if gamefly buys it and rents it u still dont count it even tho GG and sony do get paid

(this argument goes for any game one any system)

[NaiNaiNai]

no Gamefly doesn't count because of the fact that they are not being sold to a gamer. >.> so 1 copy of the game can go to 50+ gamers. do you really think gamefly is going to have as many copys of the game as gamers. not to mention that people have to wait till the other gamers return the game when ever they feel like it. >.> thats why you can't judge there numbers for crap.
-nai-

[dznutz00]

Wow just wow

a sale is a sale

not to mention that people that rent games dont take care of the games so gamefly would have to replace the games at some point

but hey if u wanna turn a positive into a negative be my guest

[NaiNaiNai]

and now you run off into fanboy pull BS out of your @55, why not just except it. gamefly is not going to buy 1 million copys of the game. they would spend close to 30 million even if they got the game at half price. T_T they won't do it, they will buy close to 150,000-250,000 copys of the game if that. they will be spending a budget. and the fact of the game being damaged, your looking into the future. i mean we could go look at how many total rents halo 3 has. T_T or other high class game. come on stop trying to spin to your advantage. i point out all the facts and you try and add some BS that makes no sense for what was started here.
-nai-

[Skyreno]

lol Party !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AriesFury]

Soon an article will come out saying that the PS3 is doomed, again.

[Cool Hwhip]

Cinemablend,Examiner,Hardcorec hristiangaming,anotherpointless unknownwebsitelookingforhits,ga mestooge,be on the lookout for such an article from one of these biased sources.

[WildArmed]

lol its kinda sad that good news is followed by bad news.

Im glad a ps3 game finally hit it up there.
Im sure 360 and PS3 will be trading places more often as time goes on.

Oh yea.. cant forget about wii.. once another good game comes out after brawl o_o

[Cool Hwhip]

Note to Sony;Start promoting this damn game via Ads,do it like,NOW.

[pwnsause]

if this game topped the gamefly charts, then you know this game is a system seller. they need to get the ads rolling on this game.

[dawq112]

History was made.
America received its first black president, the greatest FPS is released, and..
PS3 tops gamefly!

All hail 2009
HAIL!!

[infamous_27]

Wait, Metal Gear Solid 4 wasn't on the top of the list at it's release?

[soljah]

might be the first but not the last.

can anyone say uncharted 2, heavy rain, white knight c, gow3,gt5,infamous,etc.

[dawq112]

uncharted 2, heavy rain, white knight c, gow3,gt5,infamous,etc.

HAIL!

[gambare]

Hello? PP?.... Mart?... you there guys?

*crickets*

[dawq112]

Umm why the disagrees.
i am here guys.
Dawq112 at your service

[Shaka2K6]

Tera Patrick? *im inloved*

[Liquid Snake]

looks like Tera Patrick, but i dont think it is.

Maybe i need some nude pics to help me figure out who it is.

:P

[OhReginald]

GOOD ps3 news on MY n4g??? this is BLASPHEMY!!

[silverchode]

sign of the apocolypse :)

[bluestreak]

But but but... I thought the PS3 = FAIL!!!! or DOOMED!!!

[Socomer 1979]

"ps3 is just a old killer... Hired to do some wetwork."

[Qbanboi]

Actually something been on Gamefly top is not good, because that mean, less people buying it. Maybe most of those people are 360 main owners that want to try the game before they decide or fanboys that dont want to be seen buying the game :D

[Shnazzyone]

remember these title are not being purchased. Their being rented. Each and every one of those gamefly envelopes represents a game that wont be purchased. Therefor sales charts might be hurt by this. My guess is killzone isn't gonna get much higher then resistance 2. Especially when the renters realise that the aiming is slow and sluggish.

[hfaze]

First off, how many copies is GameFly going to have to purchase to meet the demand?

Also, how many people are going to try it, really enjoy the online modes in Killzone 2, and pick up a copy? Judging from what people in the KZ2 online beta were saying about it, a good few would be a good guess... :-)

I think this all boils down to GG and Sony making some $$$ off of this title...

I don't see how topping out the GameFly charts is a bad thing for Killzone 2.

[queerbearandchicken]

where are youuuuuuuuuuu

you fail at life you bleepin clone

[cactuschef]

B b but sony is doomed!!

[BMS84]

no matter what haters are writing , the biggest part of the PS3 audience knows this game rocks.;)

[aaron5829]

For me... :D

[dustgavin]

The PS3 is a beast. It is hard to believe this system is only JUST entering it's 3rd year. Especially, with the amazing games on the horizon. People should have never underestimated Sony.

[JOEdANGEL]

Stupid move to only let you play the demo with a pre-order imo. I want to check this game out but I don't want to buy it without trying it first if I have the chance. Oh well, I'll just have to wait till after the game releases.

[Gambit07]

I'll subscribe to Gamefly if that chick delivers their crap.

[The Judderman]

Bout time. Only took two years.

[The Judderman]

Didn't get to the news was to busy looking at the mail woman.

[ToeKneeHaze]

Man I got an xbox360 for xmas

The games are over hyped. Some are good some are bad just like any other console now or before.

And anyone who trounces on the PS3 can suck it and smell reality.

Both consoles are good. Stop dissing either or.

[DFresh]

This is just the beginning more PS3 Exclusives will takeover as the months go by.

[Joey Greco RULES]

gamefly....i wonder if its worth the money.

[SprayandPreycom]

thinking of what to eat for lunch yay...

[Ldubbz]

1 million people are awaiting Killzone 2 in the mail....but only 5 will get it,,,,

Good luck trying to get a major new release from Gamefly...

[SprayandPreycom]

man thats the best post ive read all weak ... i actually downgraded to on game a month it costs me 15.95 not like the 9.99 you see advertised everywhere i downgraded when i waited 2 weeks for 4-5 games i had qued and were at medium availablitiy never got em so one is enough ..

[Ldubbz]

Lol...its funny about Gamefly...when you have the trial, or the first month or so, they put u up first on their queue lists. I remember I got COD 4 from them like a day after it dropped. But then a bit later, I couldnt get a hold of Assassin's Creed to save my life.

Gamez n Flix was the same thing, but at least they were cheaper and had movies too...but they are gone now.

[Mikerra17]

I just canceled my account to them because they take along time for games to get in and out

its good to hear the ps3 is doing good on there

I hope all of you pre rented killzone 2 a year ago or you will be waiting another year to get it

[tatsujin]

The numbers are speaking for themselves. We don't need to brag and drag for those Xbots.

[AngryTypingGuy]

For the first time? You mean MGS4 didn't top it? That's surprising. Or is it?

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

PS3 get it's cherry popped? everyone needs to have a "first time" :D
