And what category does the PS2, Wii, Xbox, Nintendo DS/3DS fit into? They aren’t retro, but they’re not really “modern” either

    By pure dictionary definition. something new that’s made to look old is retro, not things that are actually old.

      relating to, reviving, or being the styles and especially the fashions of the past : fashionably nostalgic or old-fashioned

      Imitation is just one kind of retro. Actual old stuff is also retro. It also means to go backwards, or regress.

      Don’t just go by the singular definition Google gives in their dumbass blurb. Look in an actual dictionary.
