Fantastic visualization - the filters really make it interesting! Could I suggest an extra column - Downloads * price

  For anyone interested - using the console & a quick bit of js the top "profiters" (dowloads * price) were: Cut the Rope - $26433990 Infinity Blade - $15340390 Ski On Neon - $15246990 Minecraft – Pocket Edition - $12519090 Infinity Blade II - $11680290 Cover Orange - $9712890 Tap Tap Revenge 4 - $8061490 Air Penguin - $7762590 Fruit Ninja - $7633890 Draw Something - $7268690 data.forEach(function(d){ d.profit = (d["Est. Downloads*"] * d.Price); }) data.sort(function(a,b){return b.profit-a.profit}); for(i = 0; i < 10; i++){ console.log(data[i].name + " - $" + data[i].profit); }

    nice! We thought about displaying profit from downloads * price but we found that for most of the big apps, they tweak around prices constantly so the profit would vary too much based on when you poll their prices.

    Keep in mind though, like makeshifthoop said, price changes (and even more so, in app-purchases) can have another huge effect on total "profiters" -- some top grossing apps are actually free and rely on in-app
