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

    I guess it really just depends on you and what you experienced, or were too young to experience.

    Im sure younger zoomers see those systems as retro, much in the same way we saw NES as retro in the early 00s.

    For me its hard to consider PS2 or Xbox as retro. That era was the first time I had disposable income as a young adult, living at home. And I think experiencing them as an adult, to me, makes it feel like these systems are still very new and cutting edge… even though theyre very much not anymore.
