Social Games are Mainstream

Social games are mainstream.

Here’s why I think so.

According to various sources over 10 million people watch “Oprah” each day. Most people definitely consider “Oprah” mainstream.

Compare Oprah’s 10 million viewers with the 20 million people who play Zynga’s “FarmVille” game each day. Or compare it to the 6.5 million people who play Zynga’s “Mafia Wars” each day. (source: developeranalytics.com).

Doesn’t it seem like social games have hit the mainstream?

Let me know what you think.
