There's a key difference between "will be a success for Square-Enix" and "meeting Square Enix's expectations". It will make them a lot of money, but I think they will expect it to make ALL the money. And when it inevitably only does 5 million instead of the 12 million or something stupid they expect, it'll be deemed a failure.

cause despite all the warning signs (episodic content, more action rpg based combat, adding/changing the plot) it's still the most hotly anticipated game coming out of the studio with KH3 close behind
And I'm sure Episode 1 will rake it in for them. But that's it, and after the reception of Ep 1 doesn't reach the insane heights they require of it, they'll realise the economics of the whole endeavor aren't viable and if we're lucky we'll get episodes of diminishing quality until the full thing is complete. More likely I think they'll do 2 or 3 episodes and then can it before completion.
