"No!"

Retro defines a specific age of games, noted for their consoles, hardware, and game design philosophies. Just like how comics have a Golden Age, Bronze Age, and Silver Age, retro in the context of video games, especially on this board, refers to a specific era. This era is unchanging and does not shift to expand all sorts of new games. The PS3 will never be considered retro.
