Yep, that's what's being targeted.
And I have no problem with it. Pirates drive up prices for the rest of us who are buying things legally, and this is a good way to punish them without bothering people using it legally since it does in fact just check for mod chips and not stuff like opening the case etc.
I'm not a fan of DRM. But I'm not a fan of people who pirate or defend pirates either. If you don't agree with a particularly DRM system, then don't buy things in that format and vote with your wallet. Rather than pirating and trying to justify copyright violations (aka theft of digital property) because "the DRM sucks."
