It's been out for 11 years, and it's 2 generations behind now, but they're still making a few games for it. Is it retro now? The GameCube and the DreamCast are considered retro, so is the Xbox, but do you think it's about time it's retro?

I say no.

To be retro, I think it needs to have stopped production completely.

It isn't retro until new games are not being made.

legacyme3 : Games have actually ceased production as of 2010. But the stores are still selling them, it's like how GameStop sells PS2 games and GameCube games.

The PS2 is probably not retro. For one, it's still being sold. Many retro consoles get new games made for them by people who are part of the fandom of the system. The Dreamcast stills get games made for it by such people, and same goes for the 3DO. There's people that make games for the Vectrex, as well. The NES gets games made for it by the homebrew community, as well.

I doubt homebrew games count into this, though.

I also argue that the Gamecube isn't retro either.

You need to stop production and selling of games before it can be retro.

That's why Xbox is borderline retro, Dreamcast is retro, and why Gamecube/PS2 are not retro.

For a game console, I believe all games and accessories and stuff have to be stop being sold in mainstream stores COMPLETELY. So PS2 isn't retro.

I do not think the PS2 can be classed as retro as a lot of people still use them as there many consoles maybe give it a couple more years when PS3's are more affordable

I say no they still sell lots of PS2 games in gamestop even though they are kept under the shelves where there are newer games on top of them.
