CityVille Gets 290,000 Residents on First Day

Cities are always more congested. Last week, Zynga proved that even more with the launch of CityVille, its latest social game, which follows other big–and more rural hits–like FrontierVille and FarmVille. In just 24 hours, more than 290,000 people moved over to the big city, besting Zynga’s biggest game launch–FrontierVille.
