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 have a simple definition, hardware is retro if it's no longer being produced, software is retro if it's no longer beind sold

EDIT: posting this here because I can't seem to respond to a kbin user below, the message never goes through:

A digital re-release is different from the original release, in my opinion. For example, Full Throttle is on steam but I had the original one, which came in a box. You can even download the CD-ROM ISO somewhere, but you can't find that box with the CD-ROM anymore (unless you buy it secondhand from someone).
