What people need to keep in mind about Project R.E.D. "failing" is that for Toei to change course and and say pivot back to super sentai Project R.E.D. would not "just" need to fail... it would have to "SPECTACULARLY" fail.

Ratings and merch sales would have to be below what Super Sentai has made in the past few years. If lets say Project Red does the same as Gozyuger then they will stay the course because there's always a chance it could get better and according to recent interviews they seem to have an "at minimum" five year plan of worldbuilding in mind.

Furthermore from what I understand I understand what sold the most in the Super Sentai merch was the Roleplay Henshin Devices while the rest of the figures and "Zords" sold poorly in Japan.
And if the Toy listing leaks for Gavan Infinity are true The toys are the gun (which is said to be the Henshin Device) Robots that transform and combine with the gun and batteries you insert in the gun to make different sounds.
This is a clear indication that they are hedging their bets and are backing what they belive to be a winning marketing strategy.

Now, will it work? Only time will tell.

But failure seems unlikely, again, failure being PR performing worse than SS. if it performs as well as SS then they can just coast and try to retool the show until ratings/sales improve.
