October was another huge month for the US video games industry. Total sales rose 25% compared to October 2007, and Wii had another bumper month with an incredible 803000 sold units. Fable II was the top selling game with an impressive 790000 sold, while all Guitar Hero: World Tour versions failed to chart in the top 10. Has the hunger for music games run out? Wii Music did a meagre 83000 and it seems the negative reviews and word of mouth has killed the hype for it.
