I'd have to go with the wood grain Atari 2600, I'm a sucker for 70's designed electronics.

Is PS Vita a retro console? If so that.
I'd say PSP is, but Vita isn't. DS is, but 3DS isn't.
To me, no. PS2 is a retro console, but PS3 (Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X., Crysis 2) is not. I mean, look at those games' graphics, they look FENOMENAL.
I've still got mine, and it still works great! I sold my PSP to get a used one about a month from launch, and I've kept it ever since. It's a great console, if only there were more games for it.
I modded mine. Once modded it can emulate most gba, gbc, psp or ps1 games (and more). The full extended library is pretty big once emulation comes into play.
I've seen people doing that, I should look into doing it sometime. I mostly use the Steam Deck for handheld emulation, but it can't hurt to have more options!
It came out in 2011/2012, I wouldn't classify that as retro
The 2600 was retro and quaint by 1990.
