For the first time since the start of the year, the United States video game market has seen an increase in its overall value and Grand Theft Auto V, the game developed by Rockstar and published by Take Two, has managed to deliver the best sales.

The rest of the top ten includes, according to VG247:

Madden 25 - PS3, Xbox 360 NBA 2K14 - PC, PS3, Xbox 360 Diablo 3 - PC, PS3, Xbox 360 FIFA 14 - PS3, Vita Xbox 360 Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX - PS3 Disney Infinity - 3DS, PS3, Wii, Wii U, Xbox 360 NHL 14 - PS3, Xbox 360 Minecraft - Xbox 360 Saints Row 4 - PC, PS3, Xbox 360

The NPD Group says that GTA V broke franchise records, but it’s unclear whether it has also managed to take the record for the highest monthly sales away from the Call of Duty series.

After a good September, the market will see a small decline before November, when the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4 are finally launched.
