Requirements for game to be considered AAA

[Dodece]

@DragonLord

Your system is terribly flawed, and poorly conceived. Please don't be offended this is constructive criticism. The first flaw is obvious entry. Within your system your looking at dozens of titles annually. The second problem is over time each successive year thanks to sales requirements the list gets larger. Given enough years its almost exponential.

Personally I wouldn't ever be able to accept any system that would tell me that a Bioshock is not a AAA title, but tells me equally that Madden NFL 08 for the 360 is. I highly doubt anyone else would take it seriously either. Your system would literally pitch very excellent games out of the running, because they are not followed by a numeral. Then on the other hand reward Electronic Arts for polishing a old game engine until it glitters.

Your definition isn't one of excellence, but one of the lowest common denominator. Further more it has logic gaps you could drive a truck through. Games having to be on the market for half a year before they can be considered AAA. The same game on multiple platforms being hit or miss. Hell under your system the next arcade compilation could make the cut. Thanks to it only being a good compilation with little filler.

I suppose what I am saying is this you seriously need to rework your definition. You at the very least need to patch some holes with exceptions otherwise utter crap can slide through the cracks.
