I have had a few people ask ne when do games become retro? I reply "What do you think?" Which normally ends up talking about the N64. Personally I think that "retro" games for this era of gaming ends with the PS1 and N64. Why? Because the style of gaming and game design have changed since then. Platformers have turned to FPSs and "immersion" is the hot topic. There was very little hand holding but now we have on screen prompts and a big arrow telling you where to go. What do you think?
