PS2 and the new Gen

[JSoup]

I believe it's time for three classifications, as opposed to two. PS2/GCN/Xbox/Dreamcast is not in the newest category of gaming, but it shouldn't be lumped with Atari either. Even lumping the 5th gen in "classic" with Atari is too much.

So I say "classic gaming" - anything pre-PS1/Saturn/N64. This includes any system on sale before the Saturn. From PONG to 3DO.

"3D era gaming" - 5th and 6th gen. This category could include the 7th gen in a few years, perhaps around 2020. I'm having difficulty coming up with a name for this era. Maybe "older gaming"? I know the 5th gen is what I started out on so it can't be lumped in with today's games.

"Modern gaming" - 7th gen to present.

This has the potential to get argued into various sub-categories as the gaming generations go on.
Let's stick with the two we've been using for a decade.
