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 Capcom's Street Fighter IV and a price-dropped Where's Waldo? overtake Monopoly in the App Store's daily sales rankings. This relatively recently-added 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. Where's Waldo? ($0.99) 3. Monopoly ($4.99) 4. Call of Duty: World at War Zombies ($9.99) 5. Bejeweled 2 ($2.99) 6. Final Fantasy ($8.99) 7. Rock Band ($6.99) 8. Plants vs. Zombies ($2.99) 9. Tetris ($4.99) 10. Words With Friends ($2.99) Capcom's iPhone version of Street Fighter IV leads the App Store's top-grossing sales chart in its first week of release. Ludia's adaptation of the Where's Waldo? puzzle book series rises to second place after dropping in price to 99 cents over the weekend, as last week's chart winner Monopoly falls to third. Square Enix's Final Fantasy also drops several spots, landing at sixth place after taking second last week. Activision's Call of Duty: World at War Zombies maintains steady sales at fourth place, while PopCap's Bejeweled 2 follows at fifth. EA's Rock Band overtakes Plants vs. Zombies in today's sales rankings, meanwhile, as Tetris and Words With Friends hang on at ninth and tenth place.
