Good luck downloading and running console games from 2 or 3 console generations ago.

You can still purchase and download Xbox 360 games. The PS3 store is about to be shut down but already-owned games will still be downloadable. This is already the case for the Wii and the 3DS.

The only console store to ever shut down without the ability to download purchases is the original Xbox, which offered DLC only.
