Sony designed it so when the CMOS battery keeps the date in your Playstation and the trophy data. Once that dies. You can no longer play Physical or PSN games. You have to have some real know-how to tear your console down to replace the battery. Then has to reconnect to the PSN servers in order for any digital or physical game to work. So once these services are shut down. No game will work at all.

I dont know how Sony designed the Vita. Dont you need a PS account to use PSN? Once the stores are down, you can still redownload the games already purchased, just can no longer buy games from it.

PSP is fine. My PSP is not compatible with my Wifi for almost a decade. Still play games just fine. I don't think Vita has a CMOS battery. Vita's only real issue is similar to Switch. Once the battery can no longer hold a charge. You can never turn it on not even plugged in or in the Switch's case. Docked. It's just dead.
