The NPD Group last week announced that Halo 5: Guardians set atop the gaming charts for October, despite its Xbox One exclusivity. The latest installment of the long-standing sci-fi shooter has given the Xbox One a much-needed boost, but Microsoft’s latest console is still well behind rival Sony’s PlayStation 4. Overall, the console market saw marginal gains in October as combined sales of hardware and software reached $805.9 million, about a 2 percent increase year over year, NPD said.
