It's quite subjective. It comes down to how popular culture romanticizes a thing. Popular culture has romanticized 50 year old cars, or old books, but it hasn't romanticized 35 year old gaming consoles. Why that is, I couldn't say.

That people are buying them and this article exists is the most obvious evidence, but there’s a whole retrograming subculture out there who collects and plays with this stuff. Ready Player One was a recent retrogaming pop culture phenomenon. Try searching for a 35 year old console on eBay and be amazed at what you find.
