Every week, sister iPhone and iPad site FingerGaming rounds up the top-grossing iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad applications, as current that day in the iTunes App Store, and this chart is now available on Gamasutra. This week's U.S. revenue charts see EA's Madden NFL 10 leading on both the iPhone and the iPad, as Carnival Games and Chaos Rings for iPad debut as popular sellers. These charts allow end users to see who is making the most money on the App Store that day.
