Traditional games (ones that are NOT perpetually updated live services) and rock-solid-stable development targets have always been very close -- game consoles would always be guaranteed to run any game that's ever been officially released for it, even if it's an unpatched launch-day game running on the final hardware revision of console 8 years after release.
