(ie, how much money did a game make, not how many copies sold) and it's most definitely not ranking how many copies a game sold. It ranks how much money a game made compared to everyone else per day. Or per hour (not quite sure, but most definitely not per week) Torchlight 2 is on top right now... because of Sale... so you know it's not a weekly stat ^^ It's by raw revenue, not profit. If it was by profit (which makes no sense) many games would be shut out of the list without gaming their margins to a ridiculous degree.
