This essentially happend in the linguistics field. The Elsevier journal "Lingua" has been abandoned in favour of Glossa. However it took the Lingua editorial board resigning en masse to really make this happen.
Even after this, Lingua is still going fairly strong. Completely dropping a journal requires some researchers to go against their own interest (publishing in a worse journal or not at all).

Problem solved and researchers no longer face a difficult dilemma. If universities (and on a higher level, governments funding universities) demanded that all research be publicly accessible, that would surely also hurt Elsevier et.al.
