@ STAGE
first dont list games which arnt even released yet
and i have a question for you and joecool7. what do you consider AAA and hardcore?

I don't consider it anything...it just is. I'll define it the best way I know how though.
A AAA title is a popular game known to moderate and core gamers, which has a high level development cost.
A hardcore gamer, is a gamer who actually spends time with his/ her games (almost like a hobbyist) and learns the ins and outs of it. They also like to learn about new titles. They can play all levels of games (from easy to hard difficulty) and usually are very competitive. They are what you would consider to be the avant garde of gaming.
Hardcore games are titles that are more challenging than casual titles. They tend to have either healthy or cult followings (depending on the marketing). They tend to have more depth and a sophisticated control scheme that most casuals wouldn't care to understand.

ok but how would you even know if any of the games you listed had a huge development cost, not saying that they dont but that doesn't make much sense to have that as a prerequisite for it to be a AAA. as for it being known by moderate to core gamers, alot of them no about WSR and based on their impressions from various forums and reviews they like the game and talk about how great it is. I'm not going to say its hardcore by your deffinition but WSR is quite challenging and although it has a simple control scheme it can be difficult to learn and use it as the level required to take on the higher level computer characters. Plus the game has a lot of depth.
WSR is an amazing title, nintendo put alot of work and polish on the game and i think its great. i've had more fun playing it than GTA4, killzone 2 and protoype. i consider it better than those games but thats my opinion. so i think that this game is on par with titles that have been received greatly by hardcore gamers, thats my opinion. you may not thinks its great but your free to have your own opinion

Thats great dude, but if you saw the return on Wii Sports Resort for how much work and money that was put into it you would be amazed. The Wii itself makes an extra 70 dollars over the systems price, which is $180 dollars. WSR is not a AAA title, but does sell record breaking numbers because non-gamers buy it. Not to say that gamers don't buy it (because they do), but they are in the vast minority, just like the hardcore games that cannot sell on the Wii. WSR is the type of game that back in the day would've been a small mini-game; however, because it is mainly being marketed to draw people who don't care to game, it's perfect, because it instantaneous yet simplistic fun. Don't get me wrong, because it is fun, but it is in no way AAA.
