And what category does the PS2, Wii, Xbox, Nintendo DS/3DS fit into? They aren't retro, but they're not really "modern" either

I like the theory, but is the original Legend of Zelda retro?

Cause Nintendo puts that up for sale every new game console release. But that is one of the original adventure games from 1986.

Digital releases muddies the water somewhat. But, as far as I know, Nintendo doesn't issue the original NES cartridge anymore -- so it's still retro for me
