at what point do you draw the line for "retro"?
at what point do you draw the line for "retro"?
And what category does the PS2, Wii, Xbox, Nintendo DS/3DS fit into? They aren't retroz but they're not really "modern" either

Honestly retro is anything I have the ability to backup and preserve. Now that digital stores are the default if I can back it up. It's retro. Not much you can download and just have or not need an offline component.

My opinion is that retro is at least 2 generations ago.

I’ve kinda decided that at this point anything that can natively output an analogue video signal is retro. Which would include Wii U I guess. But yeah, PS3 and 360 are kinda retro at this point even though it feels a bit weird.
It still feels weird to class the 360 era as retro, even though the launch is approaching 20 years ago. I'd say anything PS2/GC and earlier.
