Games online are different to a games console sometimes you don't need to buy a disc to play the game you can purchase it online or you can download the game on to your computer from the disc.
When I researched about online console gaming this is what it came up with:
Online console gaming involves connecting a console to a network over the Internet for services. Through this connection, it provides users the ability to play games with other users online, in addition to other online services.
The three most common networks now are Microsoft's Xbox Live, Sony's Playstation Network, and Nintendo's Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection and Nintendo Network. These networks feature cross platform capabilities which allows users to use a single account. However, the services provided by both are still limited to the console connected (e.g. an Xbox 360 cannot download an Xbox One game).
Additional services provided by these networks include the capability of buying additional games, online chatting, downloadable content, and game demos.
