I mean it makes sense, I remember around 2006 everyone referred to the SNES as "retro" and no one questioned it. That's a smaller time gap than 360 era to now.

For sure, though I think a couple of things make it weird to me. Games changed a lot more in that early period, I think. Plus a lot of games in the PS3 / 360 era seem to just get rereleased slightly differently every few years which kind of makes it seem like we never left that generation.
