How can you decide if a game is AAA or not without knowing the specific cost of a game ? You can only make a guess. If for you, a AAA game is just a game with pretty graphics, that means a prettier game will be more AAA than an other ?

From wikipedia:
In the video game industry, AAA (pronounced "triple A") is a classification term used for games with the highest development budgets and levels of promotion.[1][2][3][4] A title considered to be AAA is therefore expected to be a high quality game and to be among the year's bestsellers.
Given that definition, the PS4's AAA exclusives would be The Order and Bloodborne. For the X1 it would be Halo, Tomb Raider and maybe Forza.

No offense but i was asking you as a gamer, in what way a AAA game benefits you more, according to this definition ? if you are a gamer and not a shareholder, that's pretty damn not smart to consider more a game because it's a bestseller and because it is highly promoted with high budget ( especially if most of the budget is used in promotion...). And that doesnt answer the other questoin : There is no way you can know a game's budget ( and where is the limit between a AAA game and an other ? 1M? 2M ? 3M ?), it's just a guess unless it's officially revealed, you can make a good guess for a small game , but in most cases, there is no way to know that for a retail game, there are much more things than graphics to consider like developement time, all the work on content.
A gamer shouldnt care about a game being AAA or not, according to this definition, a game can be a high quality game, with good budget and wouldnt be considered as a AAA still just because it's not highly promoted and doenst sell more than 1M? like Persona 5 ( will be the best game of the year very likely, just like P4G was), it will be in top 3 of most ambitious games in term of content and quality this year, the only difference between this game and your AAA games is that there is not next gen graphics, just decent graphics with a big focus on the quality of the product before the marketing.
