N64 can count as retro, it does need to stretch with time to some extent. None of these terms are thar meaningful, I'll usually go with Odyssey era, Atari era, whatever bit era until 3D. The n64 was a bit of a late comer that way but Early 3d is good enough for a term. The ps2/xbox/gc times is where it gets weird, I'd say that's separate from early 3d and maybe bleeds into half way through the next console generation. The ps3/360 are for sure the first modern consoles but it took a bit for software to modernize, throw the wii being in there is a moderate technical improvement to the previous Gen but by far the biggest seller, I'd say around 2010 ish could be called the modern era, which I'd say is still going.
