The Godfather tops GameFly rental charts

A game’s popularity will always reflect on its shelf status. And it’s almost a cliche that as soon as a new console is coming, the games that can be played in such platform disappear magically from the rental stores. GameFly, a popular rental company in the US, has given us a reflection of such interest on the next-gen titles.

After LEGO Star Wars 2 reportedly stole the limelight from other games by selling more than a million titles in a week’s time, Xbox 360’s The Godfather now surfaces as the the most requested title across all platforms for the week. Okami placed second while LEGO Star Wars 2 was demoted to third.

The see-saw of game title ranking has made us giddy. The Godfather reigned on all the platforms, including Xbox 360. It outranked LEGO Star Wars 2 once again, while THQ‘s Saints Row followed on the top three spot. Former number one Test Drive Unlimited crashed to number seven.

Other upcoming next-gen platforms reflected the same boom on the sales and rentals at GameFly. Most notable of them are Sony‘s Heavenly Sword and Ubisoft‘s Red Steel. Expect that these game titles will continue to outrank one another at GameFly and other U.S. stores, so keep a close watch for the updates.
