What then is your definition?

The term has been around in video games for several decades now. Long before there was a metacritic. All that makes a AAA game is a highly polished, big budget game that gets some level of critical acclaim and sells well.
I mean, seriously, are you going to tell me that games like Burnout Paradise, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, Fable II, Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction and Dead Space aren't AAA titles because a few reviewers got sand in their vaginas and dragged down the metarating? Hell, Metacritic takes a B- and assigns a rating of 67! How the fuck does that make any sense? Metaratings are useful but they're sure as hell not the be-all, end-all that some people seem to think they are.
This whole idea of AAA games being those that are rated 90+ on Metacritic didn't even start gaining any sort of circulation until the last couple of years.
