Oh, okay. Sorry. I just wasn't sure you saw it.

It's an interesting jumping off point for conversation, though, because it brigns up the question of whether "AAA" status is determined by a publisher, a developer.... or does it vary betwen systems?

Ahh yeah i saw it.

No idea. Although im guessing it's mainly down to a mixture of critical acclaim, hype and to a lesser extent... Sales expectations.

I apologize, I am being unclear

I mean that, taking AAA as a measure of budget and an expectation concerning returns, would the "AAA" standard be determined by developers or publishers? Does a AAA budget for a Wii game differ from a AAA budget for an HD game? These are interesting questions!

I see now.

Im guessing whatever budget it is, would be decided by the developer before the project started... But would have to be agreed with by the publisher also.

Im guessing a AAA budget for a Wii game, would be about average for an HD game. Although i personally have no idea, all just speculation.
