What we need to keep in mind is that comics are a niche market. 75 thousand issues of a title sold a month will net you the top book in most months when a major character doesn't have a new number 1... and that isn't all that much. I hate to say it but we don't matter, more people buy vinyl records than buy comics. This is for the millions of people with I-Pads who might have an interest in reading Batman or Superman stories, but have no clue where to start. This is a fresh start. Plus with a month of 52 new #1 titles for all there main characters DC is going to destroy the sales charts.
I just hope origins of Hawkman aren't a convoluted mess this time around.

A lot of that stuff has me interested. JLA, Dark, and new GL team with all the emotional spectrum. Sounds cool.
Sadly, if OMD serves as an example, a continuity reboot may actually lead to better stories. The truth is, many writers are lousy poor handling continuity and they're fixed in a certain portrayal of the characters -Geoff and Morrison both strike me as Silver Age fans-, which actually matters when they write. So... Maybe good news?
