Cobra Kai Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 (edited) If I play a 1st gen 360 game, that's pretty much retro-gaming on a current gen console, considering this ancient relic is pushing 8 years old.

S1500 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 So are we now experiencing longer lifetimes for current-gen consoles where it isn't obsolete after 4 years for the next bigger and better thing? I'm okay with that. We don't need another Sega fiasco where new hardware was released too often in a short timespan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 He doesn't even have his timeline correct. The 360 was released in late 2005. So unless I missed a year overnight, we're approaching its 7th birthday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulBlazer Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 People forget how long the 2600, the NES, the SNES, the Genesis, the Playstation, and Playstation 2 lasted also. All of those systems were supported for around 8-11 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of those systems were supported for around 8-11 years. Yes but none of those aforementioned consoles stopped the release of newer machines. And anyway, it was just a funny guys.

+wood_jl Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I don't think the PS2, Xbox (1), or Gamecube are considered "classic" yet, so 360 will have to wait in the queue. Besides, there are still tons of new games coming out for it, and they look as modern as the most modern system [about to be] released, the Wii U.

iswitt Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I think the Odyssey should be moved to the Modern Gaming forum. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagitekAngel Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 While we are on the subject, Wii U should go straight to classic gaming. It's just a 360 with extra RAM, after all. Better yet, pre-empt next year's E3 and put the PS4 and next Xbox in Classic Gaming as well. Consoles are history, all hail phones, tablets, and 99-cent, five minute games.

SSG Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 I don't think a console should be considerd "Retro" untill its discontinued by its company. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I own one now, so you must be correct. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
