I pulled my XB360 out this week. Like many people living in the south, we were iced in for the last 4-5 days. As a way to entertain my toddler I pulled out the 360 and Kinect to play fruit ninja. He loved playing it and even beat my high score from the last time I played it back in 2015

This is where it started for me. Skyrim, F:NV, GTA 4, Midnight Club: LA, Project Gotham, Halo 3, and not to mention the countless classic re-releases on XBLA. To think I would actually get into verbal arguments with my classmates over the 360 v.s PS3 console war.
I played GTA 5 on the 360. Retro my ass.
But seriously, I have started considering this console as retro. Going back to 2006 and beyond is when I started looking at N64 as retro and GC/PS2/Xbox as 'the old'. Now PS4/XBO is 'the old' and well... yeah.. its been 20 years.
I think just the fact that we're playing some of the same games as we did on 360/PS4 is whats keeping it alive for longer and out of the retro light.
GTA V is as old today as quake 3 arena was when battlefield 4 was released.

When the 360 came out the Sega Megadrive 2 would have been retro
If the 360 generation is retro than what is the playstation 2 generation or Windows 95/98 and Ps1 generation? Let alone the Super Nintendo generation.

I started playing burnout revenge yesterday. Then I got utopia the creation of a natio working for dos, Amiga and SNES. Classics babeeee!
It's been twice as long since the 360 released as it was between the PS1 and the 360.
You can shut the hell up, please.

Well, Gears of War is about to be 20 years old. Twenty.
SNES and GBA was peak and most evergreen due to the games being peak pixel art before everything went 3D. Nearly every SNES and GBA game is still beautiful. I tried playing some N64 games, and they are so ugly that they are nigh unplayable. Xbox is just a platform to play modern PC games that isn't quite as good as PC. Even Playstation 1 and 2 games are too dated to enjoy beyond one or two fighting games.
