Alright, let me show you were the designations really come from. I don't even know why this is even a point of contention. It's nothing more than a way for analysts to communicate which products they think will move a significant amount of units.

The designations are set far before release date to help with prebooking. It has nothing to do with critics or fans.
I'll give a few examples:
- Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters -- AAA
- Super Paper Mario -- AAA
- Test Drive Unlimited -- AA
- Warcraft Expansion Pack -- AAA
- Kirby Squeak Squad -- AAA
- Red Steel -- AAA
- Eragon -- AAA
