Doesn't Surprise Me

This doesn't surprise me. Even though I don't even like third person action games, I find myself having a blast with this wild, blood-spattered game!

I doubt Prototype will lead The Sims 3 in sales for long

That's a great accomplishment, but I doubt Prototype will stay on top of The Sims 3 for long. The Sims series is like a license to print money for EA.

The Sims 3 has almost infintite replayability

That's true. The Sims has almost infinite replayability while Prototype does not. The game gets threadbare quickly.
