That's a fair assessment, though I personally believe there should be a distinction between "previous generation" and "retro". When the PS3 was a current-gen console, the PS2 and PS1 weren't really seen as retro, just old and outdated.
Then again, I guess it's a distinction without much of a difference. ^^"
If we look only at the word retro alone, we see, that is very loosely defined 😂
So, all consoles that were used in the timeframe of 20 years starting between 1995 and 2005 🤪 Which consoles are those, and does this imply that the earliest consoles are now not retro anymore? Are they now “ancient consoles”? Is then ancientgaming? 🤔😆
Not ancient, but “vintage”. 😂
I mean, I could look at an NES as a vintage electronic device here in 2024.
😃that makes sense! Thank you
