Exactly. The labeling of anything with low resolution sprites/graphics as 8-bit drives me up the wall. The atari 2600 was 8-bit. The NES, 8-bit. They have very different aesthetics. "Low resolution" (lo-rez if you're nasty) would be a much better term as it doesn't tie the graphics to any type of hardware.
