/vr/ - Retro Games

Why are consoles nowadays built with x86 or off the shelf CPUs unlike before when they were made specifically for the console and with their own architecture?

arent you guys tired of talking about the same shitty old consoles over and over again? why not change it up for once?

Mark my fucking words we are gonna spam the fuck out of this board until the greatest gaming generation becomes retro. Just you fucking watch

After seeing the Shadow of the Colossus remake side-by-side with the original, it got my noggin joggin'. Even by the mid to late 2000' the 5th generation consoles were considered retro. Any conversation of 6th generation hardware here is instantly met with "not retro" or with threats of banning and I just wonder what the legit reasoning is? Playstation 2 is 18 years old this year and the gamecube and xbox are both 17. If not this year, surely by 2019 this whole generation should be fair game for /vr/. Most people who would have played these systems are now in adulthood.

9th gen already started with the switch, why arent the rest of the 6th gen consoles retro now?

>spec-wise the worst of the 6ht generation
>look like a washing machine
>terrible joypad
>bad at 3D (can't handle even Onimusha 1, FFX or GT3)
>bad at 2D (can't handle a SF3 THIRD STRIKE arcade perfect like PS2)
GEEEEEE I WONDER WHY IT WAS A FAILURE

Is the sixth generation of video games considered retro now?

why do we can talk only about the dreamcast in /vr/? what's wrong with the others console? is this because they're released after 2000?
