They're not hoping there is still a market for their game type. There is a market for their game type, and it's big enough to sustain FFXIII. What they hope for is that the market will change back: that the relatively shrinking share of gamers who want the cinematic game experience will not continue its decline. They hope the market will reverse itself and their games will significantly increase in popularity.
It's not like Square has to deal with a lack of poplularity or support, but as the market evolves they're moving from one of the big forces out to the fringes a little more. They're hoping that will reverse itself.
