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 Dead Space and Tap Zoo earning top iPhone and iPod Touch sales, while World of Goo and The Stroke of Midnight emerge as big sellers on the iPad. These charts allow end users to see who is making the most money on the App Store that day.
