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 the free-to-play
Tap Zoo go up against
Angry Birds and
Madden NFL 11 on the iPhone, as
Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars leads iPad sales.
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.
Madden NFL 11 ($7.99)
3.
Tap Zoo (Free)
4.
Slice It! ($0.99)
5.

EA's
Madden NFL 11 recovers after falling to seventh place in last week's chart, and finishes as today's second highest-grossing iPhone game in the App Store.
Angry Birds continues to lead overall sales, as Streetview Labs' free-to-play simulation game
Tap Zoo earns enough microtransaction revenue to land at third place.
The Com2uS-published
