Every week, sister iOS site FingerGaming rounds up the top-grossing iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad games, as current that day in the U.S. iTunes App Store, and this chart is now available on Gamasutra. This week's U.S. revenue charts see Smurfs' Village and Zombie Farm earning top iPhone and iPod Touch sales, while Angry Birds Seasons HD and Last Temple HD 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.
