PlayStationLifestyle have reported, based on SuperData results that digital console revenue is up 14% to $375 million in the month of October.

These 2k16 mt for sale titles come as no real surprise with the release of FIFA 16 and Destiny having its year 2 updates as well as the release of The Taken King. Grand Theft Auto 5 has continued to be successful with Grand Theft Auto Online, and Call of Duty is always expected to be a good seller especially with the loyalty scheme Treyarch were running.

On FIFA 16, and FIFA 15��s re-appearance on the chart:

��As publishers held off on major new releases until late October and early November, legacy tiles with strong additional content sales won out on PC and console. EA��s FIFA 16 earned 52% of its October digital revenue from additional content, and strong sales of FIFA Ultimate Team card packs also boosted the year-old FIFA 15, earning it a spot on the top-five digital console titles.��

It will be interesting to see what November��s digital results will be, especially with the impact of not only Fallout 4 and Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 but also Halo 5: Guardians, Need for Speed and Rise of the Tomb Raider. No doubt FIFA 16 will have huge competition with these games.
