you have an overlying negative point of view on consoles and their games, especially in the progressive instance.

I wonder why. I ask you this, how many classics, not just good or great games have come out in the past five years. Ten years ago any gamer was considered a nerd, dork, geek, etc. Now that games are mainstream the quality dropped off because only one thing matters..............the almighty dollar. What will bring in the most profits, not what gamers really want, but what the mainstream wants. Its kinda like how the radio sucks if you are a true music lover because the radio only plays the same mainstream crap and forgets about all of the untapped talent out there.

Classics are "Classics" because they were first.  They were the pioneers.  They have earned the respect that only time grants.  I'll use your music example.  Hendrix, the Beatles, Dylan... 'Classic' rock artists.  What they play on the radio is garbage.  Noones pioneering anymore, at least not that we can see right now.  Hindsight is 20-20.

Nooone's making any 'classic' cars right now because they just want to make money... but in 15 years, we might see poeple calling a 2005 Mustang a 'classic'.  It just depends on what nostalgia is sturred up as time passes.  But for now, I'm all about fun, and I don't care if a game isn't 'classic' right now.  I'll go play Zelda when Revolution comes out, but I'm not about to pop in Halo for some nostalgia.  In 10 years I will, but not now

You took the term classic in the wrong context. I meant it in this form.
Classic - a creation of the highest excellence

Then despite the symantics... the term 'Masterpiece' would be more appropriate.  In which case I know of only a handful of games across all generations.

Besides, you're bonkers if you think Nintendo made Mario were it not for the paycheck.

i can see many games that have been released in the past 5 years to be considered classics in the future years.  every one of us will always have a different opinion on what a good, great, or classic game is but for me its the memories, experiences, and impressions that define what kind of game im playing is to me.
