Top 5 Paid Game Downloads for iOS as of Sept 2010

As usual, please let me know if I've missed any titles here or if I don't have the most updated figures... obviously these numbers are pretty dynamic and I've noticed that these self-reported downloads don't always get picked up by outlets in a timely manner. I'd be interested to see numbers (broken out for iOS) for titles like Monopoly and Tetris, which I imagine could be in league with these guys. If I can collect enough additional data, I'll re-do this as a Top 10 list. Please note that these are straightforward Paid App downloads and do not take into account freemium, or paid with upsell models, which in the case of franchises like Tap Tap from Tapulous can be significant... allegedly yielding up to $1mil a month at the end of last year.

BTW - do you guys think this means that the most any publisher has ever made from any one title in the App Store, using the paid app model, is $8.4mil ($2.99 x 4mil x 70%)?

Verizon Announces Its Top 10 Cougars In Bikinis

Well, actually, during CTIA on Wednesday Verizon Wireless announced its top mobile games during the June through September 2009 time period. But there ain't no denying that most of these Summer hotties have been 'round the block more than a few times... and I must say that I'm deeply conflicted between respect, disbelief and revulsion that they're still clearly finding a substantial audience of new devotees at the expense of new talent (who clearly aren't working it right). Here's the list...

1. Tetris
2. Bejeweled
3. The Sims 3
4. Guitar Hero World Tour
5. PAC-MAN by Namco
6. Scrabble
7. World Series of Poker Pro
8. Where's Waldo?
9. The Oregon Trail
10. MONOPOLY Here & Now
