It doesn't simplify like that, because the different $\partial P$'s are not the same changes in $P$ and the same for the others. For example the first $\partial P$ is at constant $T$ while the second is at constant $V$. These generally don't change the same amount.
The more intuitive version of the triple product rule is
$$\frac{\partial z}{\partial y}=-\frac{\frac{\partial x}{\partial y}}{\frac{\partial x}{\partial z}}$$
or more explicitly
$$\left ( \frac{\partial z}{\partial y} \right )_x=-\frac{\left ( \frac{\partial x}{\partial y} \right )_z}{\left ( \frac{\partial x}{\partial z} \right )_y}.$$
The minus sign can be intuitively understood by considering the equation $dx=\frac{\partial x}{\partial y} dy + \frac{\partial x}{\partial z} dz = 0$, which can be rearranged to give the result provided that we interpret $dz/dy$ as $\frac{\partial z}{\partial y}$ (which is justified since we've assumed $dx=0$ in the first place).
For some physical intuition, think about the case $x=P,y=V,z=T$, in which case you find that the ratio on the right side is negative while the derivative on the left side must be positive.
