Nah, no copium here. It’s mainly just an observation about how “retro” tends to be a couple generations behind whatever the current generation is, and in the past, that’s been very obvious on the basis of graphics capabilities. However, while we have a lot of fancy new rendering tricks and significantly more powerful hardware, most Xbox 360 games still hold up decently well. As such, imo, Xbox 360 will become “retro” if/when VR takes off or a brand-new rendering technique (like gaussian splatting) becomes commonplace. I think that’s what it’d take for me to see it as “retro”.
