美国时间12月23日，Zynga旗下新款社交游戏CityVille凭借6170万月活跃用户超越了拥有5680万玩家的FarmVille。CityVille能在发布仅22天就成功篡夺FarmVille的王者宝座实在令人不可置信。据游戏邦了解，当年FarmVille花费了4个月时间才获得如此成绩。

Pete认为，CityVille的玩家人数至少还需要一个月才能趋于稳定，或呈现下降趋势。如此一来才能确定该款游戏目前的6200万玩家究竟能保持多少。据游戏邦了解，如果这一增长速率继续保持的话，CityVille将再2011年初达到FarmVille最高峰时的8400万月活跃用户。现在，Mark Pincus和CityVille开发团队可以享受一个心满意足的圣诞节啦！。（本文为游戏邦/gamerboom.com编译，转载请注明来源：游戏邦）

Alright, so it didn’t exactly happen yesterday, but CityVille has soared high above FarmVille’s 56.8 million players with a massive (for these days) 61.7 million monthly players. It did what many thought was the impossible in just 22 days, according to Inside Social, and it took good old FarmVille four months to reach that size back in the day. While we’ve already explored what might have contributed to the game’s blindingly fast rise to Zynga supremacy, it’s impossible to tell how long this will last.

It will take at least another month for CityVille’s numbers to stabilize–or at least slow down, for Pete’s sake. These numbers are purely an accumulation of the amount of players who have logged into the game at least once in the past three weeks. Whether the game can hold the interest of its nearly 62 million players for a lengthy period of time has yet to be seen. However, if the game keeps growing at this rate, it could easily meet FarmVille’s former glory of 84 million monthly players by 2011. Until then, Mark Pincus and the CityVille team can enjoy their early Christmas gift Scrooge McDuck style.（Source：Games.com）
