Honestly, I would consider gen 7 and back retro. The way I thought about it was that if I, for example, went to someone's house and they exclusively had a gen 8 console, I probably wouldn't bat an eye and it would seem normal, but if their primary gaming console was gen 7 (Wii, PS3, 360) I would probably be at least mildly interested as to why they haven't upgraded yet. Gen 7, at this point, hasn't been able to play truly modern, supported games for like 8 years, and it's outdated tech at this point. You can buy them at some retro games stores. They're retro.
This weekend I will be playing the splatoon 3 splatfest and tears of the kingdom. I just started playing totk and have just finished the great sky island. I'm having heaps of fun so far! I'm loving the amazing gameplay and world, it's definitely worth the money.
I'm really conflicted on this game. It looks like a lot of fun, but I think it might just be a bit short for the price. I might pick it up at some point but I'm not going to pre-order it just yet.
I think this is definitely warranted and I am super hyped for the game, but I think in future I would prefer splatoon stay a 1 per console kind of series.

I picked up Mario & Luigi: Brothership for Christmas, so I'm going to continue my progress in that game. I've already cleared about 4 islands.
