Top-Grossing iOS Games: Rage of Bahamut reports sales surge

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 Plague Inc. and Rage of Bahamut earning top iPhone sales, while DragonVale and Kingdoms of Camelot remain big sellers on the iPad. 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. Kingdoms of Camelot: Battle for the North (Kabam, Free) 2. DragonVale (Backflip Studios, Free) 3. Rage of Bahamut (Mobage, Free) 4. Poker by Zynga (Zynga, Free) 5. Plague Inc.
