Technically, while I'd still say that they have a year to go before they're truly retro... eh, close enough.

I voted no, for me retro ends at 32/64 bits. I think there's still enough retro style, or inspired by games in that generation and they don't have that modern shine to them.

Personally, I see them as Retro and I've now started doing write-ups on some games on my Blog relating to the PS2 (and currently on XBOX).

Good poll at the top though 50 / 50 at the moment, and I think it's just a case of opinion and dependant on where you live.

For example, in the UK we now only have 2 game shops - GAME and CEX.
GAME no longer sells anything older than PS3 and XBOX 360 and CEX unfortunately is shrinking it's PS2, XBOX and GameCube sections  :-[
I managed to get the medal of honor double pack and the james bond ps1 double pack for 0.99p BOGOF  :P
oh...the best achievement in Gamestation was definitely Shenmue 2 for £5

Ah...those were the days

While I strongly believe PS1, Saturn, and N64 are now retro. I am not quite sure PS2 and Xbox are there just yet.
