Open and Closed Digital Stores On Retro Consoles

[MarioMark]

With the consoles from the mid 00's having digial stores, the consoles from this era are now classed as retro. (We're so old!)

What if we work together to create a list for which digital stores and severs are open, closed, or partally active (as in you can download your catalogue but can't buy games). Is this still the case with PS3? I think Xbox 360 will still run for a while due to backwards compatability on Xbox Series. We can also update it over time as console generations progress.

Correct me if I'm wrong here:

Nintendo DSi eShop - Closed March 31st 2017
Nintend 3DS - Open, closes 27th March 2023
Nintendo Wii Shop Channel - Closed on 30th January 2019
Nintendo Wii U - Open, closes 27th March 2023
Xbox 360 - Open
PlayStation 3 - Closed for new purchases, still open to download owned digital games
PSP - Closed on 2nd July 2021
PS Vita - Closed for new purchases, still open to download owned digital games

Anything else?

Sony backtracked and you can still buy new games through the PS3 console, just not the website. I did hear that the store was a little glitchy through the console, but haven't tried it myself in a long time.

Are you including digital stores for digital only consoles like the Ouya?

That was shut in June 2019 apparently.
