September 2010 Sales Data

NPD Group has decided to no longer publish sales data for video game hardware or software. September 2010 is the last month we will be running Monthly Sales Futures. Essentially, we are returning to the SimExchange's roots by only trading Global Lifetime Sales stocks. This month's futures were priced against data presented courtesy of NeoGAF.
