It's that time again to look at the NPD sales numbers for October's video game sales in North America. And we must say, what a huge month October was for the Xbox 360.
360 hardware sales were stellar, moving 371,000 units in October which was nearly double the Playstation 3's 190,000 units, but far from the Wii's 803,000. As far a software goes, Fable II was the big sales winner, beating out all other game titles with its 790,000 units. In total, five Xbox 360 games made it into the top ten. Check out a complete listing of October NPD hardware and software sales after the break.
