Top-Grossing Android Games: Minecraft Rivals Tap Fish

Every week, Gamasutra rounds up the top-grossing Android gaming applications, as current that day in the Android Market. This week's U.S. revenue charts see Gameview Studios' Tap Fish and Dragonplay's Live Holdem Poker Pro leading today's rankings, as Minecraft: Pocket Edition and My Country also report fast sales. These charts allow end users to see who is making the most money in the Android Market that day. It differs significantly from the Top Paid Games chart, which is ranked by sales, and therefore is dominated by lower-priced titles that sell more copies. Data comes courtesy of Google's public sales information. All titles in the Android Market's "Games" category are considered in chart rankings. This week's top-grossing Android titles are: 1. Tap Fish (Free) 2. Live Holdem Poker Pro (Free) 3. My Country (Free) 4. Minecraft: Pocket Edition ($6.99) 5. Zynga Poker (Free) 6. Paradise Island (Free) 7. Restaurant Story (Free) 8. Fashion Story (Free) 9. Bakery Story (Free) 10. Madden NFL 12 ($6.99) Gameview Studios' aquarium sim Tap Fish ranks as the Android Market's highest-grossing app for the second week in a row, as Dragonplay's Live Holdem Poker Pro overtakes Cooper Media's My Country for second place. Mojang's PC-ported Minecraft: Pocket Edition claims fourth place in its premiere week, meanwhile, outperforming longtime chart favorites Zynga Poker, Paradise Island, and Restaurant Story.
