    Is there a different term for what NES and SNES are? Calling both them and the PS3 retro makes retro a little vague

      they've gone beyond retro. they're like, what you think the Atari 2600 or the BBC Micro are.

        I don't see Atari 2600 or Xbox 360 games on https://www.twitch.tv/directory/category/retro , but I see lots of NES and SNES. That seems to be most popular with retro gamers

          Yeah we'll see, the shift will continue. There are youtubers like oboeshoesgames that focus on xbox 360 era games.
