I'd say sales. You'd be foolish to say that Assassin's Creed isnt AAA, even though it wasnt received particularly well by reviewers.
Sequel sales are also a pretty good indication, i.e even though Resistance: FoM sold alot at launch, the sales of R2 proved that they were more to do with a dirth of software on the PS3, rather than the game actually being recieved wel by consumers.
