A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

We called the NES retro gaming when the N64 was out. The PS3 is retro gaming, too. So GTA5 and Skyrim are retro re-releases.
I often thing about this. Technology moved so fast in those days and then it sort of plateaued. Things are certainly getting more powerful of course but nothing like that old generational leap we used to feel.
I think it's also a testament to the age of the medium as well. Most gaming fans are young gen xers or millennials. The medium grew up with its fanbase and with that comes the perspective of a youth. A 7 year old looks back at their preschool years like ancient history, a teen the same of grade school. Combined with how antiquated the tech was it felt holder. Median gamer age is rising and if you ask a 35 year old about when they were 25 it would feel a lot closer.
Yup. The 360 came out 15 years before the Series X was released, yet the graphics improvement from 2005 - 2020 is minuscule compared to 1990 - 2005.
I thought the PS5 felt like more of a generational leap than the PS4 did.
I feel like the jump from the PS360 to the PS4/One was reliability.
I didn't spend too much time with the PS4, but it felt like there was less crashing, and better console reliability.
Is be inclined to agree with that
