Top-Grossing iOS Games: Updated Tiny Zoo Rivals Smurfs' Village

Every week, Gamasutra rounds up the top-grossing iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad applications, as current that day in the iTunes App Store. This week's U.S. revenue charts see Tiny Zoo and Smurfs' Village earning top iPhone sales, while Zombie Gunship and Cut the Rope: Experiments emerge as big sellers on the iPad. These charts allow end users to see who is making the most money on the App Store that day.
