Have some situational awareness. If you take into account what "retro" means in the context of the video gaming lexicon, I'm actually using the lingo just fine.
Bone said he felt the PS2 was not retro based on its conglomeration of key hardware. I explained that the hardware the PS2 had at its time of release was already nothing new. Sure the hardware was beefier than past iterations, but it wasn't exactly cutting edge. Therefore whether or not the PS2 should be considered retro should be judged by its software library, not its hardware makeup. IMO.
I'm fully aware of the terms of this debate. I still disagree with you from 2 years ago. Old and retro are [i]not[i] interchangeable. Especially on the faulty logic that they are because they're subjective. Fun and miserable are subjective, too, but they are most certainly not interchangeable.
