I would make a different comparison. It's more like formatting a hard drive and reinstalling an OS rather than spending weeks trying to patch files and registry entries on a corrupted virus damaged system that stopped running smoothly ages ago.

I get the idea behind that mindset, ending large monopolies so new companies with new ideas can take hold of a stagnated industry. I'm not sure if I really agree with that fully, though I'm not really interested in current console releases either so I wouldn't mind a new direction. I'm starting to get more interested in a few portable titles for current handhelds, maybe I might get one at some point. A few of those titles are coming from Capcom so I'll be seeing how those turn out.
