The Xbox 360 Store Will Close July 2024, But You Can Keep Playing Your Favorite Games - Xbox Wire
I can't imagine the PS3 will last much longer than this. Truly the end of an era. :(
Once again begs the question why Nintendo shuts their stores down far sooner and makes it so you can’t re-download your old purchases, other than greed/laziness. 
It's not laziness. Why sell you the games when they can exclusively rent them to you instead?
You can redownload your purchases on discontinued Nintendo platforms.
You know, I thought you couldn't on the Wii anymore, but apparently you can...? It's unclear to me but seems I may have been mistaken when I said you can't. TIL.
Sure, but if I already got an old Super Mario game on the Wii or DS, I can't just re-download it on my Switch. I have to pay for Nintendo Online to play the games. It would be easy for Nintendo to see if I already own a game in their library of available games and allow me to play them without paying for the subscription. They also could make more games they already released on older Eshops and make them playable. The emulator to play old Nintendo games is right there on the Switch! But yeah, why sell the stuff once if they can just rent it to us anew every couple of years.
