Every week, sister iPhone site FingerGaming rounds up the top-grossing iPhone and iPod Touch applications, as current that day in the iTunes App Store, and this chart is now available on Gamasutra. This week's U.S. iPhone revenue charts see Playforge's FarmVille-like Zombie Farm going up against Street Fighter IV, Monopoly, and Where's Waldo? This chart allows 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 U.S. App Store titles are: 1. Street Fighter IV ($9.99) 2. Monopoly ($4.99) 3. Where's Waldo? ($0.99) 4. Zombie Farm (Free) 5. Bejeweled 2 ($2.99) 6. Call of Duty: World at War Zombies ($9.99) 7. Words With Friends ($2.99) 8. 50-in-1 Appzilla ($0.99) 9. Tetris ($4.99) 10. Plants vs. Zombies ($2.99) EA's iPhone version of Monopoly challenges Capcom's reigning chart champion Street Fighter IV this week, but comes up short at second place. Ludia's Where's Waldo? continues to see strong sales at third place, as Playforge's microtransaction-supported FarmVille clone Zombie Farm finishes its debut week at fourth. PopCap's Bejeweled 2 overtakes Activision's Call of Duty: World at War Zombies for fifth place, meanwhile, as Newtoy's online multiplayer word game Words With Friends trumps EA's Tetris, Plants vs. Zombies, and Fossil Software's recently released app compilation 50-in-1 Appzilla.
