When ‘next-gen’ becomes ‘current gen’ (as we see the PS5 now), then the previous ‘last gen’ (ie. PS3) becomes retro.
Reminder to anyone who disagrees with the above, the PS3 was released 18+ years ago. You’re just old, like me - embrace it.
No.
The Wii is perpetually 5 years old 👉😆👈 I'm not listening lalalalala time is a man made concept
So the ps4 was not retro one day but as soon as the ps5 released it was?
Following the above logic it would become retro when the PS6 releases. When the PS5 released it beacame last gen.
Last gen doesn't mean retro.
Yeah dude, don't tell me, you were the one not following his logic earlier, not me
Yes, it’s 2 generations ago that he called retro
Retro - last gen - current gen - next gen
Was the scale used
The PS4 is not yet retro, it’s just been re-categorised from ‘current gen’ to ‘last gen’, as the PS5 has taken its place as the ‘current gen’.
When the PS6 eventually launches some time around ~2030, it would still be ‘next gen’ for a while until it reaches mass-market adoption. At that (largely arbitrary) point, the PS6 would become ‘current gen’, the PS5 would become ‘last gen’ and the PS4 would go on to be considered ‘retro’.
Just for reference - by that point in time, the PS4 would likewise also be ~18 years old.
