NPD have revealed some interesting stats about the US video game market in September. Naturally given the stellar performance of Grand Theft Auto V the market saw a big increase (27% year-on-year). What's even more interesting is that GTAV helped PS3 topple Xbox 360 as the top selling console for the month ending a 32-month reign on top of the heap for Microsoft. NPD pointed to the GTAV bundle as a big contributor.

Top Software for September (US):

1. Grand Theft Auto V / Rockstar
2. Madden NFL 25 / EA Sports
3. NBA 2K14 / 2K Sports
4. Diablo III / Blizzard
5. FIFA 14 / EA Sports
6. Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix / Square Enix
7. Disney Infinity / Disney
8. NHL 14 / EA Sports
