It was a smart business strategy, but I don't think Shadow sold as well as Square would have hoped. The trilogy as a whole copied the copycat series, certainly, but the first of the trilogy underperformed due to underwhelming marketing. Rise underperformed in larger part to its initial release being a XBox exclusive when most people who bought the previous game were Playstation players (Squeenix logic here).
