Top-Grossing iTunes Apps: Spider-Man and Slice It! Climb iPhone Charts

Apple's latest U.S. App Store game charts by revenue see Gameloft's Ultimate Spider-Man and Slice It! leading sales on the iPhone, as Angry Birds HD and Madden NFL 11 top the iPad charts.
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 Ultimate Spider-Man and Slice It! leading sales on the iPhone, as Angry Birds HD and Madden NFL 11 top the iPad charts. These charts allow end users to see who is making the most money on the App Store that day. It differs significantly from the Top 10 Games chart, which is ranked by sales, and therefore is dominated by lower-priced titles that sell more copies. Data comes courtesy of Apple's public sales information. All titles in the App Store's "Games" category are considered in chart rankings. This week's top-grossing iPhone titles are: 1. Angry Birds ($0.99) 2. Ultimate Spider-Man: Total Mayhem ($6.99) 3. Slice It! ($0.99) 4. Words With Friends ($2.99) 5. Bejeweled 2 + Blitz ($2.99) 6. Monopoly ($2.99) 7. Madden NFL 11 ($7.99) 8. Tetris ($2.99) 9. Fruit Ninja ($0.99) 10. Pac-Man ($4.99) Gameloft's Ultimate Spider-Man: Total Mayhem moves up to second place in App Store game sales after debuting at third last week, as Angry Birds perches at the top of the list. Com2uS enters the charts at third place with its dividing puzzler Slice It!, while a returning Words With Friends takes fourth. Madden NFL 11 continues a steady slide down the charts, and ends up behind Bejeweled 2 and Monopoly at seventh place in today's results. Tetris remains a popular seller at eighth, as Halfbrick's Fruit Ninja outsells Namco's Pac-Man for ninth place. Here are this week’s top-grossing iPad applications: 1. Angry Birds HD ($4.99) 2. Madden NFL 11 for iPad ($12.99) 3. The Settlers HD ($9.99) 4. Scrabble for iPad ($9.99) 5. Zombie Farm (Free) 6. Plants vs. Zombies HD ($9.99) 7. Fruit Ninja HD ($4.99) 8. Real Racing HD ($9.99) 9. Puzzle Agent HD ($6.99) 10. Medieval HD ($2.99) Though Madden NFL 11 falters in iPhone sales, the enhanced iPad version remains extremely popular, and challenges Angry Birds HD for today's top chart spot. Gameloft's The Settlers claims third place in its premiere week, as Scrabble for iPad follows close behind at fourth. Telltale's Puzzle Agent HD also sees a successful first week of release, rivaling Firemint's Real Racing HD at ninth place. Zombie Farm, Plants vs. Zombies HD, and Fruit Ninja HD continue to rank among the platform's biggest sellers, while Medieval HD drops to tenth place after a promising second-place debut last week.
