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

Thats basically my demarcation point too.

If something can output a format a modern tv can upscale with no issues using a connection type it has then it’s not retro.

Anything that has component or hdmi output and can do 480p/i or better is just old, not retro.
