I took a look at the Farmville beta once, just to see what it looked like. It was completely uninteresting, so I got on with my life after 5 seconds.
Farmville doesn't cost anything to play, other than the price of your internet. Of course more people are going to play it than serious games. Furthermore, it's something that doesn't require you to use your brain in any meaningful capacity, so people who are bored spend a couple of minutes with it just because.
Honestly, even by flash game standards, it's hardly a real game. I mean, people who aren't into--what we refer to as--games play it, because it's just another useless Facebook application. I can't agree with it being "the most popular game ever made", even if it's currently got the most people online "playing" it. It doesn't count as a game.
