Following the just released NPD October sales report, Microsoft has sent word that its Xbox 360 sold 325,000 units for the month, which marks the fifth consecutive month that the console has led sales, the company said.

Microsoft added, "Xbox 360 hardware sales have grown 30% year-over-year (October 2010 vs. October 2009) and, at 34% year-to-date growth is the fast-growing console for the first 10 months of 2010."

For October, the 360 console was responsible for six of the top 10 console game titles, including the top four titles overall, "a feat never-before accomplished by a current-generation console," Microsoft boasted. 

Additionally, Microsoft revealed that its newest Lionhead RPG Fable III sold 580,000 units, launching as the #2 game in October, while Halo: Reach sold another 315,000 units during the month.
