Sims 1, 2 and 3 were popular too. That didn’t stop them from releasing a successor. Not saying they’ll follow the same path, but popularity doesn’t have anything to do with that.
Yes, there are more facts like the stability, TS3 reached its limit.
Did the same go for Sims 2? That game was replaced even sooner than Sims 3. And it’s in fact still popular, after all those years. Besides, though I can’t judge this myself (not playing), I see loads of complaints about Sims 4 being just as buggy and glitchy. The game doesn’t come across as stable at all. In fact, even though I’ve not played it that much, some aspects in Sims 3 feel more stable (like when you start the game all sims continue where you left them, which is quite important to me).
TS4 is very stable for me, and I even just play on a laptop (though it does have an updated graphics card). My save games that I've played for a long time still work smoothly. I have never had a corrupted save like I occasionally encountered with TS2 or TS3. I can literally count the number of times TS4 has crashed on one hand, and I've played a lot (over a thousand hours) in the last year.
Now as far as glitchy? Yes, it can be glitchy at times (occasionally Sims getting stuck, etc.) but I attribute this to programming/bugs, not what the core of the game can handle. It's actually improved lately, a few patches ago they improved the time clock glitches and I don't have Sims standing around doing nothing like I used to have on larger lots.
