I would say a console becomes fully retro 15 years after becoming end of life. The PS4 and Xbox One were released in 2013. I would say that PS3/Xbox360 will be fully considered retro in 2028. PS4 will be retro in 2035, which is 15 years after the release of PS5.
THUG and Burnout 3 were games made for the original Xbox/PS2 in 2003-2004. The usual rule for whether a game is retro is that the game must be at least 15 years old.
November 2 DPRK Press Statements
Have sanction, pressure and threats stopped us?
They have only made us stronger.
The DPRK will never tolerate any attempt to threaten the security environment of the state.

This year alone, the U.S. and the ROK have further detailed a dangerous nuclear war scenario while breeding various sorts of war plots more than 20 times to use nuclear weapons against the DPRK, including the third meeting of the "Nuclear Consultative Group" and the 5th meeting of the "Extended Deterrence Strategy and Consultation Group".
According to it, various strategic assets of the U.S. including the Theodore Roosevelt nuclear carrier task force, Bermont nuclear submarine and B-52H nuclear strategic bomber were deployed on the Korean peninsula and in its vicinity more than ten times and various forms of war drills against the DPRK including "Freedom Shield", "Ulji Freedom Shield", "Freedom Edge", "Iron Mace", "Nuclear Consultative Group simulation drill" and "Freedom Flag" were staged without a break this year.
...
The DPRK will perfectly defend its sovereign right, security and development interests under any circumstances and further intensify its practical efforts to ensure the permanent stability of the Korean peninsula and the region in a responsible manner and resolutely counter any threat and challenge in the present and future.The more provocative act the hostile forces take in defiance of the DPRK's grave warning, the stronger counteraction they will face.

they think it might be a satellite and not a part of the missile detaching
2계단분리
The text on the image translates to something like "2nd step of separation". On KCNA and the KCTV video, there are 3 stage separation photos which are labeled 1, 2, 3. The photo is literally labeled by DPRK as showing a part of the missile detaching. The photo is meant to show part of the rocket detaching, which it does.
Would DPRK release a photo labeled as "stage of separation" and then the sleuths of twitter discover it's a secret satellite? Why would DPRK include a secret satellite aboard an ICBM weapon?
DPRK does have a satellite which is not a secret. DPRK launched their first ever reconnaissance satellite into space in November 2023. I posted about it on hexbear when it happened. You even commented on my post at the time. The US responded by aiding ROK in launching a satellite.
Since the post doesn't mention it, DPRK said that this ICBM is intended to be a defensive nuclear weapon.

DPRK conducted ICBM test-fire on Thursday morning
Pyongyang, October 31 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the Ministry of National Defence of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea said in a statement that an ICBM test-fire was conducted on Thursday morning.
The Missile Administration of the DPRK conducted a very crucial test on Thursday. The test-fire, conducted under the order given by the head of state of the DPRK, updated the recent records of the strategic missile capability of the DPRK and demonstrated the modernity and creditability of its world's most powerful strategic deterrent.
The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un said on the spot:
"The test-fire is an appropriate military action that fully meets the purpose of informing the rivals, who have intentionally escalated the regional situation and posed a threat to the security of our Republic recently, of our counteraction will, and it also constitutes an indispensable process in the course of constantly developing our state's strategic attack forces. As recently witnessed by us, the rivals' dangerous tightening of their nuclear alliance and various adventuristic military maneuvers go to further highlight the importance of strengthening our nuclear forces. We should never allow any threat to approach the security sphere under our state's influence. The security situation of our state and ever-aggravating prospective threats and challenges require us to continue to bolster up our modern strategic attack forces and more perfectly round off our nuclear forces' response posture. I affirm that the DPRK will never change its line of bolstering up its nuclear forces." -0-

There is definitely US involvement. Two days ago, DPRK published a statement showing US involvement in the escalation, referencing a large-scale joint air military exercise conducted on October 21.

Press Statement of External Policy Office Chief of DPRK Foreign Ministry
Pyongyang, October 26 (KCNA) -- The chief of the External Policy Office of the Foreign Ministry of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea Saturday released the following press statement titled "The U.S. will be held wholly responsible for pushing the situation on the Korean peninsula to an uncontrollable one":
Amid the extreme tension prolonging on the Korean peninsula due to the recent crucial provocation of the ROK against the DPRK, the U.S. more openly reveals its military confrontational attempt against the DPRK.
From October 21, the U.S., together with the ROK military warmongers, has staged a large-scale joint air drill Freedom Flag by drawing the Australian Air Force into the Korean peninsula. And it has resorted to extreme confrontation hysteria, openly claiming that the purpose of the drill is aimed at the DPRK.
The U.S. and the ROK are trumpeting that they would master the compound operation capability by mobilizing fighters and drones for the first time and conduct exercises for increasing the survivability in airborne infiltration into an enemy's position through the large-scale joint air drill which integrates the annual combined joint formation drill and a joint air drill Vigilant Defense.
The military drill of the U.S. and the ROK, which shows the offensive and aggressive nature more vividly in its scale, content and character, is a very dangerous military provocation aimed at preemptive and surprise strike at the DPRK.
The U.S. is staging "joint air re-supply drill" and "joint river-crossing drill" with the ROK and a large-scale marine corps' joint military drill Keen Sword with Japan. At the same time, it is further escalating the military tension while dispatching the super-large nuclear carrier George Washington task force around the Korean peninsula.
We strongly denounce the U.S. hostile act of resorting to reckless military demonstration with its allies, not content with the present political and military tension on the Korean peninsula which is exposed to the danger of a touch-and-go explosion, as a clear threat and a grave provocation to the security of the region.
The U.S. can never cover up its criminal nature of driving the situation on the Korean peninsula into an uncontrollable one with any rhetoric.
It is a fact known to the world that the ROK committed illegal and grave provocation of openly infiltrating military attack means into the sky above a sovereign state under the shelter of "military cooperation" with someone.
The DPRK keeps in sight the dark shadow of the U.S. which is hidden behind the fearless provocative acts of the ROK.
The U.S. has patronized the ROK's scattering of political motivational rubbish over the territory of the DPRK as the so-called "freedom of expression" and instigated the bellicose hysteria of its ally with frequent deployment of strategic assets and ceaseless joint military drills. The U.S. confrontation history will be exactly recorded and calculated.
If a situation that no one wishes is created on the Korean peninsula, the U.S., the arch criminal and mastermind escalating the tension in the region, will be held wholly responsible for it. -0-

Vice Foreign Minister of DPRK Clarifies Stand on Rumor of Troop Dispatch to Russia
Pyongyang, October 25 (KCNA) -- Kim Jong Gyu, vice foreign minister of the DPRK in charge of Russian affairs, gave the following answer to a question raised by KCNA on Friday as regards a rumor that the troops of the Korean People's Army are dispatched to Russia which is recently drawing public attention in the world:
I heeded the rumor of the dispatch of KPA troops to Russia, which the world media is building up public opinion.
The DPRK Foreign Ministry does not directly engage in the things of the Ministry of National Defence, and does not feel the need to confirm it separately.
If there is such a thing that the world media is talking about, I think it will be an act conforming with the regulations of international law.
There will evidently exist forces which want to describe it as illegal one, I think. -0-

Press Statement of Kim Yo Jong, Vice Department Director of C.C., WPK
Pyongyang, October 22 (KCNA) -- Kim Yo Jong, vice department director of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, issued the following press statement on Tuesday:
The reckless infringement upon the sovereignty of the DPRK by the ROK military gangsters is a hideous military provocation that can never be pardoned.
Seoul will have to experience at first hand so as to know properly how dangerous act it committed and how terrible and fatal the consequences it brought on itself are.
A military provocation against a nuclear weapons state may be led to horrible situation, unimaginable for politicians and military experts in any big or small country in the world with their normal thinking to experience. So, there will be no such instance except one recently made by lunatics of the ROK and Ukraine.
Such deed can be done only by lunatics in the Seoul and Kiev regimes.
Seoul and Kiev are exact counterparts in going about begging and letting loose reckless remarks against nuclear weapons states at random without follow-up capability.
It seems to be a common feature of bad dogs bred by the U.S.
The DPRK detective agencies' investigation into the drones from the ROK is going on and the truth behind the despicable provocation of the ROK military gangsters will be analyzed further in detail.
No one knows how our retaliation and revenge will be completed.
A lot of political motivational rubbish sent by the ROK scum was discovered and removed in many parts of the DPRK on October 21, too.
The brute courage of the Seoul authorities to jump into fire with brushwood on their backs, far from reflecting on their conducts and being prudent, will bring the danger of destruction of all the scum. And they will be denounced by everyone else. -0-

But the conclusion has not yet been drawn. > >If the drone's involvement in the recent leaflet-scattering incident is denied, it will be evidence of another wanton violation of the airspace of our country by a military means of the ROK and it will be taken more seriously as an example of a series of provocations by the military gangsters of the hostile country. > >Despite the shameless excuses made by the ROK military, the objective evidence and scientific analysis go to clearly prove the ROK committed a hostile provocation of violating the DPRK's sovereignty. > >Explicitly speaking again, the DPRK is not interested in the chief culprit and perpetrators of the drone provocation but focus on the fact that the criminals, whether they are military gangsters or scum of out-of-border fugitives' organization, all belong to the clan of the hostile country. > >The Ministry of National Defence of the DPRK and the General Staff of the Korean People's Army gave all units in the capital city and near the border instructions to reinforce anti-air observation posts. > >The General Staff decided to keep the combined artillery units and the units with important fire duties near the border in full combat readiness, and this decision has been approved. > >A spokesman for the Ministry of National Defence of the DPRK warned that if a violation of the DPRK's territorial ground, air and waters by ROK's military means is discovered and confirmed again, it will be regarded as a grave military provocation against the sovereignty of the DPRK and a declaration of war and an immediate retaliatory attack will be launched. -0- >www.kcna.kp (Juche113.10.19.)

> # Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un Inspects Nuclear Weapons Institute and Production Base of Weapons-grade Nuclear Materials > >Pyongyang, September 13 (KCNA) -- Kim Jong Un, general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and president of the State Affairs of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, inspected the Nuclear Weapons Institute and the production base of weapons-grade nuclear materials, acquainted himself with the production of nuclear warheads and the current production of nuclear materials and set forth important tasks concerning a long-term plan for increasing the production of weapons-grade nuclear materials. > >He was accompanied by Hong Sung Mu, first deputy department director of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea. > >He highly praised the scientists, technicians and officials in the field of nuclear weapons production for carrying out without fail the plan for producing weapons-grade nuclear materials needed for manufacturing nuclear warheads, cherishing the firm and steadfast revolutionary spirit and faith to firmly defend the victorious advance of the revolutionary cause of Juche with the strongest nuclear force. > >He went round the control room of the uranium enrichment base to learn about the operation of production lines in all aspects. > >He expressed great satisfaction after being briefed on the fact that the base is dynamically producing nuclear materials by studying, developing and introducing all the system elements including centrifugal separators and various kinds of sensors and controllers with its own efforts and technology. > >Personally looking round the production site, he said that it is invigorating to see the place, and continued: In order to exponentially multiply the nuclear weapons for self-defence true to the Party's line of building the nuclear force, it is necessary to further increase the number of centrifuges, not content with the successes achieved, and, at the same time, to enhance the individual separation ability of the centrifuge and push forward with the introduction of a new-type centrifuge, which has already reached the completion stage, as planned, so as to consolidate the foundation for producing weapons-grade nuclear materials. > >Going round the construction site for expanding the capacity for the current production of nuclear weapons, he learned in detail about the daily plan for the assembly of equipment. > >Expressing great satisfaction repeatedly over the great technological capabilities of the nuclear power field of the DPRK, he said that the WPK has set forth a new important strategy for building up the nuclear force, believing in the combatants in the nuclear power field who have turned out as one with an ardent mind to open up a broad avenue for the revolutionary cause of Juche on the strength of nuclear weapons. The red nuclear scientists faithful to the Party should implement the Party's policy of nuclear force building unconditionally and without an inch of deflection with their strong faith and high practical ability, he encouraged. > >Noting that anti-DPRK nuclear threat moves of the U.S. imperialists and their vassal forces have become more undisguised and crossed the red-line, he said the security environment facing the DPRK, the peculiarity of the Korean revolution compelling the country to constantly confront the U.S. and contain it and prospective threats require the DPRK to steadily expand and bolster up its military capability for self-defence and the capability for preemptive attack with the nuclear force as the backbone. He stressed again that a more rapid and sure advance should be made in the struggle to always maintain the thoroughgoing counteraction posture of the nuclear force and improve the posture to a high level. > >The combatants in the field of nuclear weapons production, assuming the most important responsibility, that is, the historic mission to bolster up the nuclear war deterrent of the country in quality and quantity and in a sustained and accelerated way, should keep exerting themselves in production and thus more creditably fulfil the sacred duty they took on for the Party and the revolution, he instructed. > >He stressed the need to set a higher long-term goal in producing nuclear materials necessary for the manufacture of tactical nuclear weapons and concentrate all efforts on making a fresh leap forward, and set forth important tasks and orientation. > >Upon receiving his on-site instructions, all the nuclear combatants made a firm determination to make a great leap forward in implementing the Party's nuclear strategy and line by absolutely and firmly guaranteeing the continuous and successful birth of powerful Korean-style nuclear weapons, bearing in mind the deep trust of Kim Jong Un, who put them forward on the outpost of the sacred struggle as he further bolsters the world’s strongest nuclear arsenal which will steadfastly defend the independent development of the state, the happy life and safety of the people and the road ahead for the Juche revolution. -0- >www.kcna.kp (Juche113.9.13.)
