Top-Grossing Android games: Zynga Poker topples Draw Something

Every week, Gamasutra rounds up the top-grossing Android gaming applications, as current that day at Google Play. This week's U.S. revenue charts see Zynga Poker and Draw Something leading today's rankings, as Defender II and Temple Run also report top earnings. These charts allow end users to see who is making the most money on Google Play that day. It differs significantly from the Top Paid Games chart, which is ranked by sales, and therefore is dominated by lower-priced titles that sell more copies. Data comes courtesy of Google's public sales information. All titles in Google Play's "Games" category are considered in chart rankings. This week's top-grossing Android titles are: 1. Zynga Poker (Free) 2. Live Holdem Poker Pro (Free) 3. Draw Something ($0.99) 4. Tap Fish (Free) 5. Samurai vs. Zombies Defense (Free) 6. Draw Something Free (Free) 7. Defender II (Free) 8. Temple Run (Free) 9. The Sims FreePlay (Free) 10. Slotomania (Free) Zynga Poker and Dragonplay's Live Holdem Poker Pro capture the top two spots in today's Google Play revenue rankings, pushing former chart leader Draw Something to third place. Glu's Samurai vs. Zombies Defense claims fifth place in its premiere week, meanwhile, as DroidHen's recently released Defender sequel and a new Android port of Imangi's iOS hit Temple Run follow close behind at seventh and eighth place.
