The financial analysis firm NPD has released sales data hardware and software of the u.s. market for October 2012. On Nintendo hardware and Sony unfortunately still do not want their data to be made public, so we know just the Xbox 360 sales which confirms the best selling console on the US market for the 22nd consecutive month: the Microsoft console has placed 270,000 units, occupying the 56% of the market and leaving the other consoles to carve up the remaining 44%.

On the front there is software ranked first NBA 2K13, followed by Resident Evil 6 which seems so have been a great success despite criticism that surrounded him. Among other notable appearances are Dishonored in fourth place, 13 FIFA in seventh and Borderlands 2 in ninth. Also interesting is the presence in the top 10 in Medal of Honor Warfighter , which although targeted by critics and the public was able to debut at eighth place. Here are the complete rankings.
