Triple A Games overrated?

What is AAA? Someone on this site says it has nothing to do with quality of the game but rather the budget. So games like Star Wars Force unleashed and COD 3 on Wii are AAA. Apparently if a game cost like $15m to make and gets an average of 10% it is still AAA.

AAA = 9/10 or more.

 

That's what I thought.  At least partly.  I felt it should be a combination of how well it is rated and how much money was sunk into it. 

 

 

He's wrong. A AAA game can be 8.5 at the very least. Anything below is a let down. It's a high budget game though. It has to be. AAA games are the quarterly flag bearers for their systems. The most anticipated games are held back until Q4 for the holiday season to push console sales, because those are the most important to bait people to your console when the sales are going to be at their height for the year.
