The NPD released game sales charts for the month of October, and, unsurprisingly, the top slots are dominated by Grand Theft Auto V and Pokemon. According to the NPD, GTAV was the top selling game with just under 1.1 million copies sold. In a separate press release from Nintendo, Pokemon X and Y sold 1.7 million copies together (though they are listed individually by the NPD).

　　Here’s the top 10 list of physical retail sales across all platforms in October:

　　Grand Theft Auto V (360, PS3) -- Take 2 InteractivePokemon X (3DS) -- NintendoPokemon Y (3DS) -- NintendoBattlefield 4 (360, PS3, PC) -- Electronic ArtsBatman: Arkham Origins (360, PS3, NWU, PC) -- Warner Bros.

InteractiveWWE 2K14 (360, PS3) -- Take 2 InteractiveWhile hardware sales are not ranked, the 3DS was mentioned as the top-selling console overall, bolstered by both the Pokemon franchise and the release of the Nintendo 2DS. Looking at home consoles, the Xbox 360 jumped to the front after getting pushed down by the PS3 in September.

　　Here are the total sales numbers along with the percentage change compared to the same month last year.
