Message: [QUOTE="Parasite_Steve, post: 15192, member: 5378"] I'd definitely call the PS2/Gamecube/Xbox/Dreamcast era retro. Not just age-wise. Up until the late 2000s you could comfortably call any console two generations older (sometimes only one when you look at the giant leap to the 32/64 bit consoles) than your current machine "retro", but I feel like age alone is less of a factor now because the industry has changed dramatically after the 128-bit era and aaa games move much much slower now. To illustrate this, the PS3 is retro when it comes to its age, but gaming paradigms haven't really shifted much since its release. We're still playing the same kinds of games basically, just spiffier. By the same metric the Wii I would consider retro because it represents long dead trends, a different world. [/QUOTE]
