There’s no hard and fast rule that says how old a console needs to be for it and it’s games to be considered retro.
There are a lot of people that say that anything from two generations ago is retro. That would put the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and the Wii in the retro camp.
Do you think the PS3 generation is retro or if not what consoles do you consider to be retro systems?
Does anyone consider a 1990 Honda Civic to be a classic car? No, but in 1990, a 1960 Galaxie was a classic.
In Denmark we distinguish “classic” and “veteran” cars.
Classic: a popular veteran car
Veteran: a car over 30 years old registered as such (black number plates optional)
Id say that veteran could be the console alternative to “retro”
Not sure if id say the ps3 is a good console that deserves the classic stamp of approval.
