I fee like because those consoles were in the market for so long, its tough to consider them retro by todays standards.
Back then however, the snes was about the same age that the xbox 360 is now. And that was definitely considered retro by most of the community in 2005.
I dont think there is a clear cut answer. Personally, i think the pre kinect era of the xbox 360 can be appreciated as retro, especially the launch games from 05/06. Stuff like need for speed most wanted (06), saints row, kameo and perfect dark zero definitely feel of their time much in the same way that sonic, chrono trigger, or donkey kong country felt of their time.
I would consider games like heavenly sword, motorstorm 1, uncharted, wii sports, and mario galaxy retro as well. But games like the last of us, or uncharted 3, or halo 4/reach still feel modern enough to hang with some of todays best titles.
TLDR: I think that 2005-2010 of the ps360/wii era can be considered retro. Everything after still feels to modern to be given that title
