I wouldn't say the game is doing badly. Then again, I haven't seen any sales numbers from EA indicating how successful TS3 is compared to TS2 or TS; those would actually be interesting to see, but I don't really see any end to the franchise in the near future, so I'm reasonably sure that EA's current business is making them money.

If you're talking about game quality, I have to say that I have been impressed with the designers of the new EPs in being able to come up with concepts that, even if they are recycled from previous games, still bring a unique spin and new features. It's not easy to come up with new ideas after 10 years of The Sims, so I think if the first 3 EPs are any indication of later ones, TS3 is going to be very exciting indeed.
