It occurs at this point that the bulk of the library for the PS3, 360 and Wii are more than 10 years old*. DS and even more so GBA too.
*mario galaxy was 2007, skate 2 was 2009, Max Payne 3 was 2012, Borderlands 1 was 2009... we can all look at the likes of https://web.archive.org/web/20190806100706/http://www.abgx.net/xbox360_releases_date.txt and https://web.archive.org/web/20190907165824/http://www.abgx.net/wii_releases_date.txt and see what came out when (some of those might be a week or two before street date but within reason)
Relatively speaking this would like sitting playing NES stuff when the N64 was new. However the changes between PS360 and now are relatively fewer, even the "cheap to make" nature of the Wii does not count for a whole lot in this beyond a resolution bump. Or if you prefer had you started to properly get into games at 6, never mind gaining enough reaction speed and processing power to compete against older siblings, then you may well be finishing high school today. If you are closer to the legally mandated minimum age for joining the site then the games were likely already old news (several sequels out and such) in some regards before you were born.
Granted looking at much of the libraries then several things were rereleased, remastered, remade, reformulated, reworked and several other things that in real person speak translate as rehashed for the newer things and thus they might be some flavour of current. Though equally I would say many of the original titles have aged far better than things a generation before that (PS2, xbox, gamecube) and most certainly the one before that (PS1, N64, Saturn and arguably Dreamcast though that might have been the PS2 generation).
I am then curious. Does playing PS360 stuff make me as tragically unhip (hips likely also having to be replaced before long and all that) as playing NES might have when everybody else was staring at N64 jaggies?
