Based on my expeirence I would say yes, but Nintendo would have to offer those games digitally or at least continue to do some on going promotions of the backlog and they have to price those to value.
I never had any playstation before PS3, and since I bought the original, I bought and played some of the PS2 titles that I really wanted to but never got to play because previously only had Gamecube and XBox.
Once lost BC when my PS3 toasted and replacement didn't have that ability, I would still occasionally buy the PSOne or PS2 titles from PSN which would work on PS3. Also HD collections for games I never played are greatly appreciated by me.
I also skipped on PS-Portable because of confusion on which version to get once I got interested in enough software but then rumors of next gen version started and some of those games got ported to PS3 with HD versions.
Now that I have the PS-Vita, I have visited the back catalog of PS-Portable games. The key is availability and price of these older games. Availability is something that PSN does really well by offering digital version. The price can be more problematic because PSN sticks to MSRP prices but if some game can be part of a sales promotion or has PS+ discounts, it can end up being the right value for cost for me.
