You have a weird definition of 2D.  If I control a dot, that is 1D.  If I can only move left or right, then that is 1D.  You know what 1D is right?

I bet you don't consider SNES games with parallax scrolling to be 3D, even though the background looks 3D.  In order to be 3D, the whole game has to be 3D.  It's the same on the Atari 2600.  The games aren't really 2D.  They are 1D.

Also, I am curious if you agree with me that the biggest transition in gaming was from Generation 2 to 3.  Are disagreeing with this point, or are you just trying to distract from my main point?

Correct.  Atari, and everything that came out after that is all 2d.  That is an image represented using an X and a Y axis.  The only way to add in the Z axis is through holographic imaging or simulate it with Virtual Reality.  But virtual reality is still using two 2d images slightly skewed from each other to simulate 3d.

My eyes are using two 2D images slightly skewed from eachother... So, is all human sight 2D?
