Just posting to say I'm 5 minutes in, and the Wii IS mentioned.

lol . . .

almost done with the vid ...melodramatic much? :S and the title is very misleading ....I think what was meant was the 'traditional' AAA model won't work now...even that I don't agree with completely...COD is a good example

yea many of the model's hav to change,,i mean what constitutes as :

AAA status for a game?

when was AAA status for a game akin to How much money you put into the game, or How much sales it has?

AAA status for game's is based on Opinion, if you ask me any game that has a like minded group of Gamer's who play the game could have that very game AAA..

Farmville is a good example:

million's and million's of people play the game but many still like to say it's casual?

AAA is more than just based on someone's opinion. The companies themselves are calling a game AAA depending on the budget and the targeted audience.

but that's the point is it not?

..what determines the status of a game to be AAA?

is is the investment or the outcome of how many peope play your game?

you can put a large investment into a game and yet the game could no way near be considered a AAA game but by those few who do play it it is..!

how many would have to play the game in order to make it a AAA game.

sales and investment are fine, but when you have games like Farmville sporting way more number of gamer's playing the game How is that not an indication of the Game being AAA?
