The Xbox 360 just had it's 20th anniversary. I'm not sure how I feel about it as a console today as most of the games are available on pc with only a few exclusives. I guess most of the nostalgia will be from playing online, which I never got the chance to do.

The NES released in North America in 1985, this means that the 360 is now roughly as old as the NES was when the 360 came out.

So for you I guess the proper comparison would be that the Xbox 360 is now as old as the IBM System/360 mainframe was when the NES released in NA.
