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

Well I suppose it's what you define as retro. To me Retro is an era, unmoving in time, after years have past and the PS5 becomes as old in age as the PSX is now, then do we consider the PS5 retro? What of the PSX then? Or do we move on from "modern" as a current(in this hypothetical) standard? Post-modern, neo-renaissance whatever the new terms we use end up being.
