"I said nothing regarding what posters should talk about. I have trouble with the label "AAA", since it has several different meanings across the games industry, and "review scores" isn't typically one of them. I just think trying to guess what games will be rated, this long before their release... is ridiculous. That, or assuming that games are rated better or worse based on their genre... ridiculous."

Actually, review scores is the most typical one. When you're talking about AAA games you're talking about Halo, Gears, Zelda, Metroid, GTA, Metal Gear, Resident Evil, God of War...you know the highest quality games of all time. When you're talking about AAA, you aren't typically talking about games that have received sub 90 ratings regardless of their sales. That is why a handful of games that have sold astoundingly well but don't have high review scores aren't considered AAA. It's like when you go to school, you get A's,B's, and C's not because of your good or bad attendance, but for the quality of your work.
