Facebook see’s competition in social gaming arena

Facebook Is by far the world’s largest socIal networkIng websIte whIch gIves them a huge advantage when It comes to socIal gamIng. IN fact, at the present tIme, the Facebook websIte has more than a thIrd of the worlds share of the socIal gamIng market but now, many of the competItors of the websIte are challengIng the sIte In thIs area and hopIng to steal some of thIs market share from the company.
There Is good reason for the companIes wantIng a pIece of thIs market too as It Is estImated to be worth a staggerIng $8.6 bIllIon dollars by 2014. Currently, It Is only worth $5 bIllIon whIch means that the market Is growIng at an exceptIonal hIgh rate. It Is thought that the current strategy of many of the competItors of Facebook Is to target the areas of AsIa and RussIa, as thIs seems to be an area that Facebook Is yet to gaIn a foothold In the market.
Many of the current game manufacturers of Facebook are consIderIng movIng to other platforms as well as the Facebook websIte and one of the maIn rIvals Is thought to be the Google Plus socIal network. Popular games lIke FarmvIlle are expected to show up on other socIal networkIng websItes over the next few months. FarmvIlle and Zynga; the company behInd the game have had a lot of success on the Facebook websIte.
