The SNES, which also happens to be my all time favorite console! Why? Well, its library of games is simply magical!

Don't forget the graphics! 99% of SNES games look better than any 5th gen 3D game.

Let's not even mention games like Star Fox and Donkey Kong Country which were simply groundbreaking at the time!

I'd say the N64 was the last 'retro-console'. Or at least the newest we today can call a retro-console. It was the last system to use cartridges, the traditional medium, for it's games and the last to follow the old rules. I don't consider the PS1 to be a retro-console anymore, because the shift it caused in the industry, I see it as (one of) the first of the 'modern consoles'. The N64 is also my favorite of the retro consoles.
Wii because it has almost them all. ;) But if it's not classified, I say Atari 2600. :)
Carpe diem!

I can't imagine that the Wii will be retro within 10. |
The Wii was retro the moment people found out motion tracking games were shit.

That's interesting. So the PS3, 360, and XB1 are also retro then.
Quick question, does Dualshock 4 have Sixaxis?

In some way maybe, but what I meant was the following. Many people were hyped to hell for the ''new technology''. It seemed really awesome at first, but then people found out that just moving your wrist was enough to get a massive swing at Wii sport's tennis game. Then they realised motion controlls weren't what they hoped they would be. Don't get me wrong, I own a Wii, but I feel that at that point the Wii became a (semi) retro console.
As for 360 and PS3, the motion technology hasn't influenced those machines too much. It did influence the 360's successor and sure Kinect ruined a lot of childhood dreams with games like Kinect Star Wars, but the console itself was still the 360 of before Kinect launched. Even more so with the PS3. I don't think move was near as successfull (in sales) as Kinect and that's probably a good thing.
As for Xbox One it's hard to say at this point, since I haven't seen many Kinect based games, but the Kinect brand could be associated with the word retro, just not in a good way.
Edit: On your sixaxis question, I think it has. For example shaking the controller when the torch battery is nearly empty in TLoU. I think PS4 has this too, but I don't own one, so I could be really wrong right now.
