TS3 sells a lot better than TS4 in general. That's why it's still full price because there is still a good level of demand for it such that the market can bear the product at full price.
LOL. TS3 doesn't go on sale anymore because almost nobody is buying it anymore. EA can make more money by charging the few people who are still buying it a higher price. It's the same reason why TS4 stuff packs rarely go on sale. Hint: it's not because SPs sell better than EPs.
Digital goods simply don't work the same way as physical goods do. When a physical store is having trouble selling an item, the item would take up valuable shelf space so the store has no choice but slashing its price to sell it. The same thing absolutely does not apply to digital goods, which take no inventory space.
TS4 is the best selling game of the franchise, having made close to $1.5 billion in revenue by now, easily the most money a Sims game has made. Quite embarrassing for TS3 considering that game had thousands of dollars' worth of store content, and yet it got outsold by TS4 easily.
