*Walmart ad technically, but still. The Xbox cannot be so old to do a feel good "generational product" like this. I won't accept it.

Halo is absolutely a retro game.

You're going to have to realize it sooner or later.

Let's look at it this way.

A year ago, you absolutely would have called Mario 64 Retro.

Now the next generation is coming out.

Xbox was one generation above N64.

No way around it my man!

The migration of ARPANET to TCP/IP was completed in 1983, creating the internet as we know it today. The launch of Halo: Combat Evolved is closer to this event than it is to the present day.

My first console was a PS2 when I was a child and now I'm 27. This generation is absolutely old enough for this treatment.

Though I wouldn't use 'retro'? I guess I think of retro gaming as a specific era, which probably ends with the SNES days. I guess I just conceptualize it as:
Retro/2D era
Early 3D
'Modern' starting around 2004

It's not that I wouldn't consider the original Xbox old, but jeez the guy from the commercial goes from his teens to like his 50s.
