I'm not entirely sure why we care about this, or even how the statistics are related...
The 2 markets are pretty much unrelated; they don't mix. People who play Call of Duty don't generally touch FaceBook games like Farmville, and vice versa for Farmville players. Theres no point comparing the two, because both categories of gaming will always have a market.

I find it remarkable that Activision is managing to sound more and more like the worse of their userbase with petty showing off and bickering.
"Call of Duty has more players who pay-to-play online than any Facebook game and our players pay more per player on average than any Facebook game.
That shouldn't really come as a surprise, seeing as all CoD players have shelled out 60$ for the game in the first place and there's no "free" version of CoD. In addition you have the map DLCs and yearly releases of a new game...
In Zynga's case, sure some players pay for game content, but there's so many millions of them who play without paying, or perhaps aren't even considered active players.
So really, Activision is saying that their product that costs quite a lot of money (+additional costs) has players that pay more money than a product that is initially free (+additional costs). Wow, that was a smart conclusion that probably took many hours and days to figure out.

The amount of trash talking between game development publishers is getting as bad as the amount of trash-talking in Canadian politics.
Sooner or later, we're going to have someone like Tripwire going "Look at us, buy our shit because we're not dicks."

I think Activision has gotten to the point where CoD is so successful, the company is willingly made themselves think the series makes diamonds made out gold fall from the sky. I hope Battlefield 3 beats MW3 just to kill that notion.
AND farmville is not for people with a life.Macrobstar said:
Seriously, CoD is just a multiplayer based ego-soothe at this point, anyone without ego issues just doesn't care about the franchise anymore. They've made what...2 good games out of the genre? (I am of course referencing to CoD2/4 singleplayer, multiplayer has always been for kids)
I have one for you Activision.
More people play Call of Duty: Black Ops than Battlefield 2.
More people own Toyota Corollas than Ferrari Italias.
That doesn't make the Corolla a better car in any way, shape or form.
Shove your copy pasted game up your assholes using ben gay for lube.

Is a man not entitled to his money?
"No", says the Actvision, "it belongs to CoD."
"No", says the Facebook, "it belongs to Farmville."

You know, I really don't have an issue with Call of Duty. I don't mind it's players, I don't mind the gameplay(Though I think it sucks personally), I don't mind the fact they basically release the same game every time.
What I am really sick of though is fuckin' hearing about it. It's like McDonalds counting. I don't care how many players you have, or how big your game is going to be, or how everyone wants to emulate you. Just make your game, people buy it and play it, who cares!
