at what point do you draw the line for "retro"? (lemmy.ml)

And what category does the PS2, Wii, Xbox, Nintendo DS/3DS fit into? They aren't retro, but they're not really "modern" either

What classifies as Retro... Hmm... The last retro consoles would have to be the original Xbox, PS2, GameCube and Dreamcast.

Xbox360, PS3, Wii would still be in that middle ground of not quite retro but not quite modern either. They won't exactly be retro, atleast for me, till 2035-36 at the latest.

I don't know about the 2035 part, but I completely agree that that's the last retro generation
