I'd argue that a thing is "retro" at the point where it becomes impossible to find new in shops. Also if it coming back is purely a nostalgia type thing. Like with music. Digital is the way people consume music these days. But CDs can still be found pretty easily. Tapes can't be found to the point where they almost don't exist. Vinyl exists but as more of a novelty and for new stuff often bundled with a download code.
Same deal with gaming. If I walk into a Target or EBGames there will be some Wii/PS3/360 stuff. Not a lot but it'll still be there to this day. There are even some releases still coming to those platforms like FIFA and Just Dance. Not huge amounts of support but still some content. GC/PS2/XB? Not a chance. Except for the GC controller they re-released for Smash Bros on the Wii U. So that's where I'd draw the line as much as it kinda freaks me out calling the original XBox "retro".

"Don't stir the pot" is a nice way of saying "they're too dumb to reason with"
SNES has an amazing backlog as well as translated import exclusive titles to check out for the first time. It's a system where you can get a solid AAA top 50 games without issue.
I still prefer the NES and Super NES, more than any other retro system. Genesis was okay for the Sonic and Streets of Rage games, plus the uncensored Mortal Kombat and a few other exclusives. But the other two systems had tons of great games, while the Genesis mostly focused on sports and a few comic-based titles.
God, guns, and guts made America; let's keep all three.
