2006 was 13 years ago.

Gamecube came out in 2001, 13 years before that was 1988 and the NES, which we called old school at the time.

Time passes, TC.

That's one way to look at but consider the following:

NES was 3rd gen, Cube was 6th gen.
We're currently 8th gen, while Wii was 7th gen.

Consider cars.

A "classic" is any car that is more than 15 years old.

An "antique" is any car that is more than 25 years old.

Cars from the Model A all the way up to the 1994 Nissan Altima are considered "antiques". Car enthusiasts may scoff or argue, but the fact of the matter is that these kinds of designations are generational and it's basically a case of "what I grew up with" versus "all the stuff that came before", regardless of how big that library gets.

So too will it be with video games. There's been more than one occasion when I'll watch a video of a Wii game and think to myself "God this looks old". :-P
