Zynga Scores Its Biggest Hit Yet With CityVille
It looks like Zynga has another hit on its hands with CityVille [http://www.cityville.com], which debuted on Facebook last week and quickly became the studio's best social game launch ever.
I suppose it's bad news for anyone hoping that the air might be out of the FrontierVille [http://www.zynga.com]. That game drew 116,000 players on its first day; CityVille pulled in a whopping 290,000.
After a week of play, more than 2.7 million CityVille homes have been built, along with 500,000 bakeries and five million sections of road. It's tricky to nail down what exactly that means after only a week of operation but it sure sounds impressive; possibly even more important, however, is that 25 percent of players are interacting with their friends games as well.
FarmVille [http://www.appdata.com/] dog, which is rocking more than 54 million monthly active users, or FrontierVille, with over 30 million, but given the pattern of growth Zynga's previous Ville games have experienced, it's an awfully good start.
