The thing is, your story does not provide enough data to tell whether there are ANY signs of Farmville's decline. Sure, Phrases has become MORE popular than Farmville, but this may simply be due to an increase in the popularity of Phrases rather than a decrease in the popularity of Farmville. If Phrases ascent is faster than Farmville's, it could take the top spot without ANY decline for Farmville.
What you, and any reasonable observer should do, before speculating so idly and so speciously is find out whether Farmville ever had MORE than 16 million daily users or 53.9 million monthly users. If it did, THAT would indicate a decline from it's maximum popularity. That would still not prove a declining trend. You'd need at least three data for that, and with only three data, the trend could not be predicted with any degree of accuracy.
