GameStop has officially declared the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Nintendo Wii U as retro consoles, allowing trade-ins of even faulty or aesthetically unappealing units that still power on. The company plans to sell these consoles in stores catering to retro gaming and online. This move reflects the age and evolution of gaming, with these consoles being products of a bygone era. GameStop is offering an extra 10% trade credit for those trading in these retro consoles until March 21.
