Gamefly rentals: GTA IV way ahead on 360

Here's the latest rental data from GameFly (the Netflix-esque service for videogames). No surprise that "Grand Theft Auto IV" for 360 is currently their number 1 game, given how huge that title is going to be and the superior install base of the 360.

But it is notable that while "GTA IV" for PS3 is way back in seventh place, behind titles like "Mario Kart Wii" (OK that's not so big a surprise), "Dark Sector," "R6V2," "Viking: Battle for Asgard" and "Army of Two." I guess what we're seeing is that the difference in install base amongst avid gamers means that recent releases that got mediocre critical receptions like "Dark Sector" and "Viking" on 360 still outpoll the most anticipated PS3 games of the year. If "GTA IV" on PS3 doesn't pull ahead to at least no. 3 by the time it comes out, that's probably not a good sign.
