What do you regard as retro? (kbin.earth)

r/RetroGaming is very strict about retro. They say the Nintendo 64 is retro while the PlayStation 2 is modern. This despite the fact the PlayStation 2 is now 25 years old.

So I got to wonder about this community deems as “retro”.

Or a better question: what’s considered retro and not retro? What’s the fine line between retro and modern?

Any console that existed before me is retro. I started with the PS1 and N64 so those are modern and all the ones before are retro lol

Anything running 480i/p is retro. If it's higher than that, it's modern.

I'd say anything before the PlayStation era.
