I read Retro console, see in comments people talking about PS2. There's even someone mentioning they bought a PS3, implying it is a retro console.

Man, I have a PS3 here. Not really as part of a retro collection, it was just the PS3 I bought close to the end of PS3 days. I never thought of that thing as retro. I now feel extremely old.

Either way, yeah, owning original hardware is something for hobbyists. To play ancient consoles as they were meant to be played you will be looking for CRT TVs, sometimes you will need to repair shit.

If you just want to experience old games, emulation is the way to go. Retroarch is an amazing tool for that, especially if you take the time to adjust settings (such as shaders for example) to make the pixel art look better on modern monitors.

When I wrote this article I defined "retro" as "pre-HDMI".

		no, you wrote: "For the purpose of this guide, any game console newer than the Wii is not a “retro console” because you can easily use HDMI to connect them to your TV." PS3 was released in NA on November 17th 2006 BEFORE Wii was released on November 19th 2006, which makes PS3 retro console according your definition since PS3 is older than Wii, so maybe next time don't name specific console and just say you consider everything without HDMI a retro console.
